This is a change both for the network protocol and the UI that drives it. So this kind of becomes a question of timeframes and cost/benefit; is it worth another flag day sooner around regex/globs before policy branches? Conversely, maybe it's not so bad bearing the cost of an extra globish implementation if it has a sunset date rather than being forever. -- Dan.
