Getting ready for a release, wildcards

[Matt Selsky]

Hi Hal,

I don't think we should have a knob for disabling wildcards. This is not the sort of knob that operators expect (what other software provides such a knob?) and we're just adding another code path to test.

Are there any other release blockers?  If not, I'll update the NEWS for the user-facing/high impact changes and cut a release candidate.

Thanks,
-Matt
