Keeping not recommended spec forever is not a good idea. IMHO. Using strtolower() all over place in the Engine to keep running not recommended code does not make much sense. It's BC, but it would be easy spot it by an compatibility check script. Once case is used properly, scripts run both new and old PHP. Therefore, BC issue is not critical.
