Hmph, could you (no need to hurry, though) check the previous discussion and point at what we decided if we did reach any conclusion to refresh our collective memory? While I agree this is a good move in the longer term in that we get the often-asked-for "foo/**/*.c" match and also we have one less platform differences to worry about, I somehow have a recollection that we discussed that there are incompatibilities in dark corners we would want to warn users about and lay a transition plan across some major version bump.
