We had to go to case-insensitive partitions here to accommodate one or
more of Adobe's installers.  They may or may not DTRT now.  There's
also been much fun with leavers copying from a case-sensitive drive to
a case-blind one with rsync, falling foul of distinguishing files or
directories only by letter case, then wondering offsite where some of
their files went.
