Comment(by nacin):

 Related: #8878.

 Adding add_action( 'wp_head', 'feed_links' ) as a default hook would open
 up issues where, unless people either add automatic_feed_links(false) to
 their theme or remove hard-coded feeds, they'll be referencing their feeds
 twice.

 I think #8878 added an interesting twist to this, by introducing
 documentation and convention issues that can only be fixed by creating
 compatibility issues.

 Crazy idea not likely to fly: Any properly coded theme (prior to the
 introduction of automatic_feed_links) called bloginfo('*_url') for the
 feed, which in turn called feed_links(*).

 We can add feed_links as a default filter, then remove the default filter
 in feed_links. Thus, by the time you get to wp_head, if the theme already
 used proper feed links, then feed_links isn't called again via the default
 filter.

 Thoughts? Sounds less crazy when I think about it more -- as long as it is
 documented.
