You said Devs said "No" to noindexing given pages, right? It's too bad we can't make a template for all BLPs that injects noindex...
That seems a bit pointless to me: either we want people to find an article or we don't. If we don't, I have a better solution: delete it. If we do, why not let the search engines index it?
Stable versioning has been imminent for a long time now. Perhaps when it is operational indexing should only apply to stable versions.
That wouldn't really solve the problem at all - it's quite possible to have a stable-but-crap article. "Stable" only really means "pretty likely it doesn't say Joe is Gay anywhere"...
If you apply that limitation to stable versions you are right. Stable versioning, however, should be developed to the point where it can do a lot more.
