                         “Go away! We don't want you!”
                                        
I'm having to do some work on SugarCRM [1], and I just now noticed that the
default installation has a robots.txt [2] file:

> User-agent: *
> Disallow: /
> 

As written, this will prevent the site from being indexed by the various
search engines. I wonder how many people using SugarCRM are aware of this? Or
even care? I couldn't find anything about it mentioned in the documentation,
but I just did a cursory search.
