In addition, I would suggest we reinstate the previous behaviour, but
display a warning when wildcards are used but --wildcards is not set.
The warning would tell people about the migration and explains they must
fix their scripts to use --wildcards before upgrading to etch+1.

This way it is easy to find problematic scripts.

Cheers,
