Description

Has there been any thought given to how a room admins or homeserver admins could opt out their room or server?
My thought would be some sort of state event in a room and the already standard `X-Robots-Tag` for servers.

I know this project is in very early stages but given the distributed nature of the matrix network I believe this to be a very important thing, especially coming from the matrix core team (Or at least that's who it looks like it's being driven by).
