Well, since I was the one suggesting the use of all-uppercase, it should
be pretty clear that I still think it's the right thing to do.
The text should indicate that it's something different, the category
is not a normal category but a meta-category which should be the first place
where the user looks when installing. All-uppercase in the current setup
layout is the only useful style, IMHO.
