I often use https://riot.im/develop (to avoid the troubles of having to build the develop branch myself), and sometimes I try to connect to a homeserver, using a full MXID like @alice:matrix.example.com, that has no /.well-known/matrix/client file. This causes server discovery to fail and Riot to try and authenticate the user against matrix.org (the default server in Riot's configuration) instead of matrix.example.com. It might be just me, but it feels really counterintuitive to me.

As per #9290, the decision here is to just fail the user's ability to log in. It should not default to matrix.org - that is a bug.
