.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.
Fair, the drawer's the good part. Beats having every spec squat its own root path.
Why not call it .junk-drawer instead ;)
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.
A junk drawer is an improvement over scattered junk.
exactly! in fact, that's most of the whole point of .well-known!
Isn't that the point though? Keeping all the junk in a drawer labeled as junk, instead of keeping it on the kitchen counter?
