Of course it does, look past the code. Look at the impact of this patch. Past; /etc/httpd.d/*.conf #works /etc/htppd.d/*.conf #errors out for typo New; /etc/httpd*/*.conf #works /etc/htppd*/*.conf #succeeds, in spite of typo All it takes to make a bad path into a successful path is a wildcard. This is a demonstrable change in behavior, and is more arbitrary than the current configuration syntax. Working on patch to your commit 909878 that errors out when no files match whatsoever.
