It has always been standard, it was the #1 thing to do when setting up Apache back when Apache was the standard and nginx was still this obscure Russian porn web server.
.well-known is much more recent and an exception. Can you think of any other .file or .folder which is wise to be exposed publicly?

- TheHappyOddish 4y agoI was around back then and uploading websites, (version controlling on svn, not git), and I do not recall it being a standard. The closest standard I can think of is .htaccess files (which we did upload) for various vhost specific settings. What is your basis for this standard? Was there a mailing list agreement I missed?
