 Automated configuration of rewrite in .htaccess ignore Well-Known Uniform
 Resource Identifiers (RFC-5785) defined in /.well-known/ prefix. This
 features can be designed outside of any Wordpress application (for
 example: Letsencrypt project is runned from server shell and puts static
 files to ./.well-known/ webroot as verification process during requesting
 HTTPS certificate). Default configuration of configuration of rewrite in
 .htaccess can thwart this process because it redirect to index.php.

 I know its contentious PR, but current state make confusions on some
 webhostings.

 My tip: Just add after [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/src
 /wp-includes/class-wp-rewrite.php#L1517 this line] new rule:
 `RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/.well-known/`
