#13115: Wordpress should not serve robots.txt when it is not installed at the root
of a site

 Priority:  normal         |   Milestone:  3.0 
Component:  Rewrite Rules  |     Version:  3.0 
 Severity:  normal         |    Keywords:

 Current behaviour:
 Visiting http://some.domain.tld/wordpress/robots.txt causes wordpress to
 generate a robots.txt file, when actually such a file below the root
 directory has no meaning.

 Desired behaviour: the robots.txt file is only meaningful when placed at
 the root of a domain. So wordpress should only do robots.txt handling if
 it is installed at the root of a domain, otherwise return 404 for all such
 requests.

 Is this too late for 3.0? Feel free to punt. I'm working on a patch anyway
 though.
