[QUESTION] Should the package name guideline mention that package name cannot contain capital letters?

What / Why

The package name guideline does not seem to mention that the package name cannot contain capital letters. Should it be added to the guidelines? I'll be happy to do that.

That seems like a reasonable addition. Please feel free to open a PR to update this 👍🏼

To be clear, it can’t anymore, on the public registry. Presumably a private registry could, and there are existing legacy packages on the public registry with capital letters.

This guideline is already present in the package.json documentation. However, those guidelines should just be on this page, as I point out in #969.
