Hmm, I'd suggest to have this be the default.  IMHO, the old
behaviour seems counterintuitve to me.  The only problem I can
see with this is maybe with subdomains.  Say, I want to allow
all subdomains of xxx.yyy like aaa.xxx.yyy and bbb.xxx.yyy.
Or, on an email addresses, say to allow aaa+bbb@... through
if aaa@... is allowed.  This should however be reduced
to those special cases, not to any substring match that's in
there.

IMHO, it's perfectly OK to change the behaviour to only allow
real subdomains of some "domain xxx.yyy" through, but deny anything
that just happens to end with the same bytes, more or less by
accident.  Similar for email addresses.  Noone in his right mind
would rely on the old behaviour.  Yes, there are reasons to drop
backward-compatibility. Actually, IMHO, it should be dropped quite
a bit more often...

Ciao,
Wolfgang
