Ned, Benjamin,

are you ok with a backport to 2.7 and 3.6? Substring (aka partial) matching of wildcards is a MAY feature according to RFC 6125 https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6125#section-6.4.3 . They are a violation of CA/B Form's baseline requirements, so no publicaly trusted cert may contain a CN or SAN entry with a partial wildcard. Several libraries and languages do not implement the feature either. Improper wildcard matching caused a bunch of security issues and CVEs in Python.
