I'll be interested in other opinions.

Just because nobody else does it doesn't mean it's a bad idea.  Somebody has 
to go first.

If it's extra code on our end, think of all the code in OpenSSL that we don't 
exercise if we don't allow wildcards.

I have running code.  The default is to allow wildcards so nobody will get 
surprised.

I can push later today.  If you want to go the merge request route, somebody 
will have to give me a lesson.
