Comment (by dd32):

 Replying to [comment:4 jonoaldersonwp]:
 > I don't agree that we need some kind of artificial rule on which is
 indexed and isn't because 'fariness'; that feels a bit silly.

 While it is in the spirit of fairness, if a "thin" theme author archive
 isn't worth having as a search result then realistically none of them
 really are.
 With >= 3, we'd be dropping 80% of the archives already, so keeping the
 remaining 20% doesn't seem like it'll be of much benefit to end-users as
 it's more likely than not, that the author they're looking for won't be
 listed.
