To clarify, by wildcards, I really only mean "none or any match anything, and pyX matches any of pyXY". So (for example) pip doesn't need to say it supports cp37-none-win_amd64 because any wheel declaring it's for cp37-none-win_amd64 will match pip's supported tagset cp37-cp37m-win_amd64. But getting that sort of wildcard matching to work with the priority ordering we want (py37>py3>py36, for instance) is not straightforward, and I never thought it all through.
