 Replying to [comment:9 jonoaldersonwp]:
 > we'd still be in a position where we have infinite crawl traps and pages
 which should exist. That'd continue to impact crawl budget, discovery,
 etc, across the site(s).

 As paginated states of the front-page aren't ever actually linked, I'm not
 sure if that's realistically an issue here? 3rd party websites may link to
 one or two such pages, but on the whole it shouldn't be massive traffic?
