Although, 3 years passed since then. I constantly see "kiB", "MiB", etc in many discussions. And some very popular programs already migrated to it.

For example, in Linux, "top" uses "KiB Mem", "KiB Swap".

In the documentation there is a single instance of “K bytes” being used to
denote kilobytes (kB or kilobyte used everywhere else), which isn’t really
correct as the k should be lowercased.  The attached diff fixes this to make it
consistent with the rest of the documentation.  I opted for kilobytes rather
than kB to match the rest of the document in question.
