Configuration Joomla 6 - security and UX

[mrownicki]

Hi.
Please consider these changes for a better maintenance Joomla 6 and improvement of security as well as UX.
Not support MOD_REWRITE! Because it's some archaism!

• Remove - Show Joomla Verson.
• Link to the plugin SEF
• Simple addresses have already been turned on when installing! We have the 21st century, nobody wants ugly URLS addresses! which are not good for anyone.

1. Thats security by obscurity - in other words it provides no security. I can easily discover the exact version of a site with or without this field
2. There is a pull request for this - it needs testing
3. If you can come up with a way that this will works with all servers (apache, nginx, litespeed) and the situation where hosts have already created an htaccess folder in the root (perhaps to set the php version) then everyone would agree with you and it would be merged immediately

ad.1 Why leave the gap if it is still off? I miss logic here.
ad.2 Great :)
ad.3 Well. What will you do then if you install Joomla and want to change htaccess and so you override this htaccess ;) So looking in this way to take into all possibilities variants is fatal.
During installation, you can check the file exist and add an entry regarding PHP as connected. Isn't it?
The extension adds their rules and the world does not end.
WordPress also has htaccess and somehow nobody complains that something has override. Seriously!
And he probably uses an even larger server base since it drives 60% of the Internet.
