When you search for Fennec, these two sites come up first: http://www.mozilla.org/projects/fennec/1.0a1/releasenotes/ http://www.mozilla.org/projects/fennec/1.0b1/releasenotes/ Can we take these down? Is there some SEO-fu that can fix this?
We could rewrite to the new release notes or just remove these. Typically we don't touch release notes since they are a record of previous changes. We should brainstorm to come up with a better solution, though. Maybe create a consolidated changelog page, put all release notes into one directory and setting robots.txt to not spider that dir?
Over to the websites team for consideration.

I am not sure how those pages are implemented, but you can always add `<meta name="robots" content="noindex" />` so that they don't show up in search engine results.
