There are others who can probably provide better answers than me, but I
believe that your question assuming blocking from all web search
engines and also assuming blocking for all FPC related resources, not
just the Wiki, is very misleading. What I know for sure is that we had
problems with DDoS atacks / overloading of the Wiki and that the
implemented blocking protects the resources from these overloads. You
may ask ChatGPT whether it's better to ensure availability of the Wiki
for users, or whether providing access to LLM tools is more important
than providing access to users - or you may better try answering that
question yourself, because asking a LLM whether LLM access is more
important than access for people doesn't sound sane to me.
And BTW (sorry to replying to my own message :-( ) - checking whether
search engines are blocked from the Wiki is obviously much easier than
what was suggested in the original post. Searching for "FPC release
engineering" using both DuckDuckGo and Google resulted in finding the
above mentioned page as the first result (and, also BTW, found further
references in the FPC forum)...
