Well, the name "readme" is a command, telling you to read whatever 'me' is.
That part isn't so bad. As for the capitalization, due to the capitals
coming before lowercase in most lexicographical sorting orders, one gets
important files listed near the beginning of the directory listing. Of
course, after seeing thousands of packages, all with a README file, not many
people are going to make their own package with a different name, say
ReadMe, or readME, etc -- since no one looks for those files. :)
