Comment (by jeffr0):

 I agree that the issue is not critical, and valid points have been made
 about it being a non-dismissable admin notice, which would not be a good
 thing for sites legitimately discouraging search engines from indexing
 their site. I for one would not want to see an admin notice for something
 I'm doing on purpose.

 Also, I don't like the argument that some plugins already contain a
 warning, so no additional improvements in core are needed. This assumes
 that everyone runs an SEO plugin. I don't.

 At the end of the day, if the decision is to leave this to plugin
 territory, I can respect that.
