.well-known started tidy and quietly became the junk drawer of the web root. security.txt, ACME, app-site-association, and counting.

What do you mean? It was explicitly designed to be a junk drawer.

[momoraul]

Fair, the drawer's the good part. Beats having every spec squat its own root path.

[ape4]

Why not call it .junk-drawer instead ;)

[marcosdumay]

Well, it does live space for other drawers for other kinds of junk. This one is just for junk you already know it will be there.

[delichon]

A junk drawer is an improvement over scattered junk.

[chrisweekly]

exactly! in fact, that's most of the whole point of .well-known!

[inigyou]

Isn't that the point though? Keeping all the junk in a drawer labeled as junk, instead of keeping it on the kitchen counter?
