+- The `@scope` is the root namespace of the GitLab project. To follow npm's convention, it should be
+  lowercase. However, the GitLab package registry allows for uppercase. Before GitLab 13.10, the
+  `@scope` had to be a case-sensitive match of the GitLab project's root namespace. This was
+  problematic because the npm public registry does not allow uppercase letters. GitLab 13.10 relaxes
+  this requirement and translates uppercase in the GitLab `@scope` to lowercase for npm. For
+  example, a package `@MyScope/package-name` in GitLab becomes `@myscope/package-name` for npm.
