#18841: Sites with default permalinks do not return 'robots.txt'

 Priority:  normal        |  Milestone:  Awaiting Review
Component:  Permalinks    |    Version:  3.3
 Severity:  major         |   Keywords:
--------------------------+-----------------------------
 Currently there is no .htaccess file when Permalinks are on the default
 (ie: /?p=123) setting.

 Without an .htaccess file Apache does not direct requests for non-existent
 files to WordPress. Directing the request to WP is needed so the
 'do_robots' or 'do_robotstxt' actions can respond with the rules set by
 the user in Permalink Settings.
 * Browsers other than Apache likely have the same problem, but I have not
 tested them
 * This occurs in 3.2.1 and 3.3

 I've marked severity 'major' since this undermines the Privacy Settings
 panel & may not meet user expectations. Please modify if this is not
 appropriate.
