I'm not quoting any previous discussion, I just want to make an
observation: wasn't .well-known acknowledged to be an anti-pattern when it
was set up? And isn't the DE role therefore to turn proposals away which
would be better served by a (positive) pattern elsewhere, along with that
explanation?

The bar for .well-known should be very high because http != gopher, nor
should it ever be.
