Craigslist Blocks Search Engines

According to a thread at SERoundtable, a few million results in Google (and other search engines) from Craigslist have dropped out due to a change in the robots.txt. The change must be very recent, as I had used Google to search CL just a week before the holidays. It's an interesting strategy from the classifieds giant - If anyone knows the reason, please do tell.
