Comment:

 I'd rather you stuck to a filter.

 The option controls 3 things:
  * robots.txt
  * robots Meta in the <head>
  * Disables pings

 Pretty sure it's the last one you wish to do here, We've been playing down
 the privacy option as it doesn't do what a lot of people expect it to do
 (ie. completely block search engines from indexing it, which it doesnt).
 giving it a define seems to give it more credentials than it's worth.

 Not all options deserve a define, infact, I can think of a few more that
 are worthy of it than this..
