Just a quick query from someone who has beginner level experience in NGINX and Caddy. Doesn't this PR [1] for Traefik imply that trailing dots for FQDNs are fixed?

You can match hostnames with trailing dots in Caddy, too (and have been able to for years).

Just gonna be honest and just flat out state that I'm kind of lost on what's going on.

What is kuschku arguing against in ELI5 terms?

That it’s neither supported by default, nor mentioned in the documentation. Which leads to people misconfiguring their webservers, e.g., https://caddyserver.com./ vs https://httpd.apache.org./

It is supported by default. Out of the box you can configure it this way.

It is not _configured_ by default. There is an important distinction.

It's not mentioned in documentation because the documentation [1] does not provide an _exhaustive_ list of the kinds of addresses that Caddy can be configured to serve.

That it doesn't work implicitly in Caddy, without explicitly configuring Caddy with trailing dots.
