Regardless of the format; the statement still stands, even if it's overly combative. There is functionally no requirement for wildcard SSL that can't be met another way- the other ways in almost all cases are better for user security. Not designing for it (just like not designing for cloud failure) isn't someone being belligerent about nothing it really only emerges out of laziness or unwillingness.
(or, you have a legacy application which is architected a certain way, which is similar in my scenario of having a "non-cloud ready" application.. it's not a good reason to architect things in future this way)
