Hi,
I have a question about nullglob bash's shell option. I want to hear opinions.
The behavior is nicely described in bash reference manual [1]
By default, the nullglob is turned off. And it tends people to use bad habits in shell scripting. In my POV the nullglob could be turned on by default. However, i would like to hear opinions from others.

It is possible it can break many scripts even in rpm's scriptlets, but as I already said, it's because bad habits. So the main gain will be the people will learn how is the globbing in bash and in the whole environment working.
