Words like
    * CTSCAndWC2011
    * THUAcmProxy
is not Camel words anymore. I don't think this is reasonable.

It is a very bad idea to use automatic CamelCase links, and most wikis realized 
that a long time ago... It is a disservice to new users that this is the 
default setting in vimwiki. These "automatic links" should be left as an option 
for those who are willing to get into all sorts of issues...

But one has to agree that a sudden change of the definition of "camel case" is 
not a nice thing for people who have already been using the wiki for a while.

A simple, but not completely satisfactory mitigation: to figure out and 
document a grep expression that will attempt to find the "links" that used to 
be links and are no longer links in the new version. Of course, this can find 
all kinds of false positives in quoted code and probably some other places... 
And it would be insane to try to do any batch modification, it is better just 
as a tool to help people modify their wikis themselves (I do not know if the 
rename function will work on that kind of links, though, so it may be a bit of 
work...).
