Comment:

 I just now discovered that my paged.php became useless months ago, as I
 saw my paginated archives popping back up on google. I was using it to
 place the noindex meta tag for pages 2 and on. By now I fixed my issue,
 but other people may keep trusting everything's fine when it's not.

 It's more out there than just the themes in the repository; if you put out
 a documentation, it's cautious to expect that people might just use it.
