I don't think it ever be followed either, unless you count actual users. It
isn't just a matter of credit, but it also supresses also attention
(bandwidth) from crawlers. It allows you to control leakage of PR, which is
probably a bad thing over the long term... the death of citations and
acknowledgements.
