[pdm-devel] [RFC datacenter-manager 00/13] backend implementation for view filters

[Wolfgang Bumiller]

Code-wise LGTM - nits could be addressed later.
Whether this is the way we want it needs to be decided I guess. Not sure
splitting by include/exclude this way is ideal, but I don't have better
ideas for the moment, although it may be interesting to add the ability
to use globs there at some point, then having both includes and excludes
makes *some* sense (but wouldn't allow for something like, "include all
'x*' except 'xy*' but do still include 'xyz*'" – that would need
orders/priorities.
