The following have been discussed already:

 - deprecate the 'glob' module, moving its functionality to shutil
 - "starglob" or "use_recursive" option
 - have a separate "rglob" or "tree" function do this for you

And more at

The patch has been discussed to death already. Not to say that it's too
late to speak your mind, but I think if it passes the proper tests and
review - it should go in.
