In short, my vote goes for case-sensitivity with a grace period for switching over.
I disagree. Migrating between major versions should never be something like installing Asterisk 12 over an existing Asterisk 11 (or earlier) system. It should always be a migration between physical (or virtual) boxes.
The time to verify your dialplan works in a major release is during the testing phase, not during the "omg I installed over my production system!" phase.
If someone needs to upgrade to a major version, changes as documented in the UPGRADE.txt and CHANGES file would need to be performed anyways, so testing in a staging environment should catch the issues prior to production deployment.
Besides, if it was an option, people would just ignore making the changes until the version where the option was no longer available, and we're basically in the same boat as just changing it in the next major version.
