Description:
Pages are generated with a meta keywords tag such as <meta name="keywords" ...> but many modern search engines also make heavy use of the <meta name="description" ...> tags for indexing. Would it be possible to automatically generate such a tag for pages so that they were better-indexed in search engines?

Since the auto-generated keywords are generally agreed to be seemingly random and near-useless, I'd be pretty leery of trying to invent a description as well.
The text and the links speak for themselves...

In fact they were removed in 2009: bug 19761.

I think there is a remote chance of this happening in an extension instead: bug 66325.
