I’ve raised the PR on the PPO repo: [Specify arbitrary equality case insensitivity. by notatallshaw · Pull Request #1959 · pypa/packaging.python.org · GitHub](https://github.com/pypa/packaging.python.org/pull/1959)

I’ve done my best to merge Stephen’s, Paul’s, and Alyssa’s text while not breaking any of the agreed upon concerns.
