Perhaps it depends upon the version of the code? I am developing on top of 3.0.4923.0. I wouldn't be so adamant, except that I have just recently been working with the IIS code, and that is the EXACT behavior I was looking for for the installations and upgrades of our sites, and I haven't made any such modification.
Looking back through the local SubVersion repository that I use for my local changes (and to track the changes from each time I upgrade from the CVS repository), I see that the functionality was added somewhere between 3.0.4624.0 and 3.0.4923. This is also where "*" was added as a valid choice for SiteId. Traipsing through CVS, (rev 1.65 is 3.0.4624.0 for wixver.h; is there a tag structure in the CVS repository to find files by WiX version? It's been so long since I've had to maintain a CVS repository), I tracked down the change in rev 1.17 of scaweb.cpp. Judging by the dates, this corresponds to 3.0.4805. As I said, I can only really give advice regarding the version I'm using. I do, however, make sure that the behavior is within the official WiX code-base and not part of my modifications (at least until I'm done with the current deployment and have time to clean up the code and submit it for inclusion).
