"dnf list acpi*-1*" performs as expected. It's a constraint on globbing most won't expect however. likewise "dnf remove kernel*-4.0.0*" provides what I need.

See bug 1083679#c8 and the original report there. With a documentation actively misleading it is not a very big surprise that "most won't expect" as what is passing for globbing here is nothing of that sort. Actually I found pattern matching as used by dnf quite unpredictable and requiring too many lucky guesses. NOTABUG obstinate claims fall flat.

I think this ended up NOTABUG due to my error. Your bug is WONTFIX. When I have a chance I'll look into pattern matching, but clearly the documentation is ERRATA
