Well, the longer description of things was: 

fedoraproject.org was/is created from the fedora-websites git repo.
Over the years, much of it's moved to other places, ie, getfedora.org
and the like. Last december, the websites team thought they could just
stop building/syncing fedoraproject.org website. This was fine until we
deployed a new proxy and it could not get any of the files for that
site, including and importantly: hotspot.txt. So, we quickly setup a
alias to another file for hotspot.txt and created it in ansible with a
'contents=OK' since it was not at all clear that a \n was in there or
important. And indeed everyone using the NM detection said it was
working fine, so we left it at that.
