I suspect most of the other *-commits lists deal with source code repositories, which are public anyway. If you wish to disallow access to pages, do not publish them -- www-commits is a public list, the www repository is a public repository -- any commit is by definition published. It is no different than getting bug reports for commits in a software repository that still hasn't had a release. If you let crawlers access changes to disallowed directories, you are defeating the purpose of robots.txt. What was supposed to be unpublished is actually published. The purpose of robots.txt is to avoid overloading a web site, it is not to disallow access to pages. This still does not explain what the problem is -- "don't let crawlers crawl" doesn't explain it. What are you trying to solve? That unpublished articles are not published before they are finished?
Yes, basically. The purpose of the staging area is to work on articles that are not ready yet.
