Wildcards can have lower bounds. Type variables can't. Since wildcards are
converted to type variables with lower bounds by capture conversion the
compiler and the specification must deal with type variables with lower bounds
anyways. Thus it appears to be a minor addition to the language to allow lower
bounds on type variables.
