Traditional behaviour depends on how far back you're prepared to
look.

"Original behaviour" that I've seen includes "@" as the delete

Rather than picking some arbitrary "traditional" behaviour, the
MAINTAINER should pick some arbitrary sensible behaviour, and
others can tweak their own configs from there.
