Nit: "usecases" => "use cases"
Are you sure? I'm not a native speaker but at least the kernel
has established its use:

$ git grep usecase | wc -l
517
"usecase" is not a proper word by itself, but people do use it some times.
$ git grep "use case" | wc -l
694

Anyway, you can keep it if you want. It is not something that is worth arguing for. :-)

Cheers,
