Hello,

Upper case is used as a way to emphasize specific syntax in code
snippets.

Also, in typesetting conventions,

    - =TITLE=, =BEGIN= ... =END= ::

      Keywords and blocks are written in uppercase to enhance their
      readability, but you can use lowercase in your Org files.

Therefore, I do not object to this change, but I do think it is not
necessary.

Regards,
