It's not very different from hostname, email, etc. case is not important for them and it's tied to Unix for a long time :) config.guess already convert of lot a string to lower-case, it's not so different. There's currently no use of case to distinguish between different architecture/operating system/kernel/ etc, so use a canonical lowercase name should not create regression and may improve usage of config.sub by third party. > Is there a particular problem with MiNT you were trying to fix? > Not at all, but when converting the string to lowercase, I've found the way MiNT was recognized seems not consistent.
