The Googlebot indexing problem (bug 27155) is a problem on Google's end. I
don't see why anything has to be done here. Removing the robot indexing policy
would result in a bunch of useless pages being indexed, but if the search
engine isn't going to display it in the search results then all we've done is
waste resources.
Search engine indexing bots ''shouldn't'' be indexing while logged in. But if
someone does write a search engine bot that logs in for some reason, it should
follow the same indexing policies as all other search engine bots. If the
robots policy is removed for logged in users, then such a bot would be getting
different indexing instructions that those that don't. Why would we grant an
exception to the robot indexing policies simply because the bot logs in?
