I've been trying to get this working for the last year. Basically our issue
is that the htaccess files do not add the right X-Robots-Tag header for old
ref guide pages.

https://github.com/apache/solr-site/blob/main/themes/solr/templates/htaccess.ref-guide-old#L1

This works locally, but in the actual Solr site, the headers are not
returned. I have no idea why. Would love some help though, as I also hate
seeing the old ref guide in the google results.
