Okay, this is a request for the devs. Can one of

patch at
http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5523 and enable
rel="nofollow" outside NS_MAIN?
We can then, having solved the uncontroversial part of the problem,
continue debating the merits of nofollow in the main namespace at leisure.
Looking at the patch, it seems to me that a better solution would handle
both NOINDEX *and* NOFOLLOW.
Please note that the patch is about the rel="nofollow" attribute of <a>
tags (specifically, external links), _not_ the like-named value of the
<meta name="robots"> tag. You seem to be talking about the latter.
