Hi, Derek. I just wanted to let you know that we're still discussing how to best handle this. How difficult is it from your perspective if OVS continued to behave in this manner? There was a time when this normalization was more important from a performance perspective than it is now, so we may be able to either stop normalizing or at least store the original wildcards. However, OVS has behaved this way for a long time, and we haven't heard other application writers have issues with it. I understand how it could be confusing, though.
