Comment (by markjaquith):

 Tasks:

  * Determine why SimplePie requires PHP 4.3, and see if it is feasible to
 code a compatibility layer to keep WP requirements static.
  * Determine which WP feed API functions need to be repointed to use
 SimplePie, and repoint them.
  * Set up additional compatibility layer, if needed (i.e. naming of object
 properties).
  * Have SimplePie use existing DB caching system.
  * Mark MagpieRSS as a deprecated class (for plugins that use it
 directly).
  * Set up a schedule for eventual removal of MagpieRSS.
  * Communicate that schedule to plugin authors.

 What else?
