And, I would speculate, it wasn't the OS, it was whatever layered
management tool you had on top; Linux has never cared whether login
names had caps in them.

Unix, in general, has always had *login programs* which would note an
*all caps* login name, and turn on case folding with an obscure
protocol for signifying real caps, but I strongly suspect current
versions don't do that any more: it was an ASR-33 era thing, for
terminals which couldn't do lowercase (gotta spell GOD'S name
right[1]), and how many of *those* do you see anymore?
