I'm sorry that we have gotten off on the wrong foot (feet?).

I'll try to review and maybe fill in a few blanks.

It's time for a release in general.  Fixing the wildcard bug is a good excuse 
to do it now.  There is no rush or deadline.

You are putting me in an awkward position by asking me to approve your patch 
when I want to do something else.  I think your fix will do what you want.  I 
haven't actually tested it.

You have a simple fix for the wildcards.  I have a more complicated one, with 
knobs that you don't like.  If it wasn't for tangling with your fix, I would 
have just pushed this code.

I'm not sure why you don't like my knobs.  Several possibilities:

1) more code to test.
  There are 8 cases.  I think I tested them all.  If it will make you happy, 
I'll test again, being careful to check all 8 cases.

2) it's useless clutter
  I'd like to experiment with it.  Other than general clutter, I can't think 
of any reason not to include my knobs.

3) you want to get the release out soon and don't want to think about knobs.
  As far as I know, there is no rush on the release.
  I'll help more with testing if my knobs are in.

4) others?

--------

I can't think of anything else that needs to go into this release.

I have some code that adds another line to the (already noisy) client side 
logging for the KE exchange to display the SAN:DNS list from the certificate.  
I think it should go in, but I'll wait until after the release if you prefer.

We should scan the issues and merge requests.  (James has several that we have 
all been negligent about approving or providing feedback.)
