Ya, this happens. I can confirm this. Another reason, why we may like to have **canonical** for the Homepage is the permalink /latest and / shows and index duplicate content.

Similarly, I have been trying hard to noindex via GTM but yet I’ve not been able to see effect.

I hope to noindex these common pages from first day of Discourse installation.
