Drupal enforces creation of .htaccess files yet some environments don't use them and others create errors when they are present (eg. IIS + WebsitePanel).
When Apache is reported as the web server, automatically create .htaccess files. Otherwise, do not create them and warn the user about the possible implications of this. Allow users to explicitly enable or disable the automatic creation of .htaccess files using a config setting (and hence clear any warning message).
New warning message in File System section of Status Report.
New config setting.
We are currently doing this check for non-Apache servers too, and it causes errors to be displayed when using IIS and other servers.
So, this patch limits this checking and .htaccess creation to Apache only.
Needs work

After being applied to the 8.x branch, it should be considered for backport to the 7.x branch. Note: This tag should generally remain even after the backport has been written, approved, and committed.

It's likely this issue predates Contrib.social: some issue and comment data are missing.
So this one is coming as the "One" for bugsmash so thought I'd give it a quick look.
Took the patch in #82 and only slightly fixed up with today's checks: Constructor promotion, return types, deprecation version.
#87 I agree and changed that to an error()
Also tweaked the CR some but it was pretty straight forward.
Still NW for
The new setting needs to be added to settings.php with a comment.
