I won't get into a spit-fight with you over this, or try to offend you
as you tried (without any success) to offend me with namecalling and
stuff.

Try working a Linux distribution lab, and having to manage 80
different packages, and you will understand my point.

If you are only managing 5 or 6 packages, using glob for files
will be almost never an issue. Or if you are the software developer
and is packaging your own software. However, good habits should be
cultivated.

Unless, of course, you don't care.
