As a compromise that addresses some of the issues I would suggest the
following: go with upstream, but add some convenience code, to whit:
(1) Hot-wire tar to check an environment variable TAR_WILDCARD_DEFAULT
and activate the --wildcard
Oops, guess I should have checked if it was already done. My bad.
(Given that the warning is working, why were people making such a
fuss? Well, never mind.)

Both sides in this discussion seem to have valid concerns:
FOR making --wildcard the default
- compatibility with upstream
- compatibility with standards
- compatibility with other distributions
- whatever reasons POSIX had for this were probably sensible
- upstream's judgement
