This will likely cause problems with LDView running on Linux. All previous zips had "ldraw" in them, and now it is switching to LDraw. So, LDView's auto-update mechanism is likely to totally fail on case-sensitive file systems (which are default on Linux). Even the initial might fail there, since it looks for "ldraw" and not "LDraw". (That might succeed, due to my support for case-insensitive part file lookups, but I don't think that case-insensitive code extends to the ldraw directory itself. However, even if it does succeed it will slow LDView down a great deal, since the case-insensitive lookups are much slower when they have to be used.)

I strongly feel that this particular branding effort should be abandoned immediately.
