Nope, as I said, I removed /partial/ wildcards - stuff like "test?omain" - full wildcards (i.e. "*" or no value) operate as before. Do you really see a need to keep that, and if so wouldn't it be better in a more flexible query mechanism similar to JMX's QueryExp?I personally dislike the JMX QueryExp objects, and the Kernel has never supported them. If you want to explore a QueryExp system because you find it useful, please do. I like the current features of the ObjectName queries and don't want to have that functionality removed.
So this is based on a personal preference for a rather arcane mechanism that is not actually used by anyone rather than any real technical reason?
No. I'm saying we have a status quo that people understand and code to. You are arguing to change the this so, I believe the burden is on you to prove that we are better off removing the features.
