 Sorry for the confusion

 Sites allowing indexing may have an SEO plugin that allows them to prevent
 indexing on individual posts or pages.

 If the plugin calls ` wp_no_robots()` on these pages, the expected output
 is `noindex, follow`. For backward compatibility this needs to be
 maintained.

 On sites discouraging indexing, the output ought to be `noindex, nofollow`
 as discussed above.
