Case sensitivity in magazine names

This is ridiculous and is going to put off people migrating.

/m/parenting and /m/Parenting should equate to the same magazine

Because case sensitivity makes sense in some limited applications but when trying to make something which works for a broad audience it's user unfriendly.

Parenting being different to parenting and pArenting might make sense from a pedantic programming perspective, but from a user perspective it's ridiculous. The fact that you get a 404 for parenting but can't create a magazine called parenting as Parenting exists shows it's a broken system
