 Replying to [comment:7 jonoaldersonwp]:
 > We updated the "Discourage search engines" behaviour in core relatively
 recently, to output "noindex, follow". Are we running a recent enough
 version to have picked that up?

 We are, but that change doesn't do what you think it does..
 https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/43590

 `wp_no_robots()` still outputs `noindex,nofollow` unless the option
 "Discourage search engines" is ''disabled'' where it changes to
 `noindex,follow`. But if the option is disabled, `wp_no_robots()` isn't
 called by default, ''except on embeds and `?replytocom=` links'' where
 it's called.
