I've been getting the DDox versions of Phobos documentation at
the top
of my Google search results, which is a little annoying. We
could remove
the pages from search engines via robots.txt until DDox is
ready.
Should they be removed from Google for now? Or does anyone
find them
useful?

Is there a way to disable indexing by google yet keep them? --

Yes, listing them in robots.txt, which was what I suggested. I'm
not saying we should actually remove them from the website :)
We already have /phobos-prerelease/ and /library-prerelease/ in
robots.txt:
