Google mentioned it will be “reaching out independently to SXG websites who we’ve found to use dynamic serving, but I needed a broad announcement in scenario there are any that we miss.”

I surprise when Google will get started notifying web sites about this and I suspect most will want to include the meta tag if they are working with dynamic serving?
