There are a couple arguments against case-insensitive filesystems I think are strong. The first is simply compatibility with existing case-sensitive systems. The second is that case is locale-dependent, so a pair of names could be equivalent or not depending on the device's locale.

I don't think I've seen any good argument against normalization, though.

Please understand that blanks are live rounds and can be deadly if handled without care. Saying it was a live round does not mean it was a bullet. From the article:

> A source close to the union said Local 44 does not know what projectile was in the gun and clarified that “live” is an industry term that refers to a gun loaded with some material such as a blank ready for filming.
