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.

Ive went about and created a PR targeting this issue.
Not sure if it will ever get merged as the repo's activities are cooled down.

Thanks! @kirtan-desai for pointing the issue out
