Can we please stop standardizing on putting things in the root?

/.well-known/ exists for this purpose.

example.com/.well-known/llms.txt

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Well-known_URI

You can't just put things there any time you want - the RFC requires that they go through a registration process.

Having said that, this won't work for llms.txt, since in the next version of the proposal they'll be allowed at any level of the path, not only the root.

I put stuff in /.well-known/ all the time whenever I want. They’re my servers.
