Comment (by bradleyt):

 Hi @jonoaldersonwp, I've been testing with the CWV Chrome extension, with
 emulated "slow 3G" connection applied.

 Interestingly, this morning I'm still seeing good CLS scores this morning,
 but worse LCP than I was seeing yesterday. I wonder if I'd not applied the
 throttling correctly. In any case, I do agree the overall performance is
 terrible even if we are partially getting away with it from a CWV point-
 of-view.

 I have noticed since yesterday that many of the Rosetta sites do have a
 "patterns" link in the main nav (e.g. https://es.wordpress.org/patterns/).
 Given what I said above about no-indexed pages still affecting the Chrome
 UX Report, and therefore SEO, these header links could continue to do
 damage even if the no-index was applied - although I don't know how
 important the Rosetta subdomains are from a SEO perspective.
