[et-mgmt-tools] Small Cobbler nit to pick

I just upgraded to 0.4.2-0 (from 0.2.8-1 - it's been a while) and
noticed that the system name seems to be case sensitive:

[root at kickstart ~]# cobbler system remove --name=00:17:A4:8B:BC:29
can't delete something that doesn't exist
[root at kickstart ~]# cobbler system remove --name=00:17:a4:8b:bc:29

This seems like it should be case insensitive to make it fall into
standards compliance.

Why should a MAC address or a hostname care about case?
