Google has added the following line to their robots.txt file (http://www.google.com/robots.txt):

Disallow: /maps/stk/

Does anyone know what this is?

I don't know, but my best guess is Search ToolKit
some new API coming, maybe?

Satellite Tool Kit?

(I don't think it is, but it's sort of related.)

StreetView Toolkit – that would probably be svtk I suppose since Google puts a space in there.

I doubt it deals with Street View as it doesn't match the naming pattern they've used so far.
