Comment:

 I don't think blocking local feed requests is the right thing to do here.

 I think the likely root cause of your current issue is #11585 - the feed
 fetching is failing and we aren't caching that so every page load triggers
 another request back onto the server which because the url is wrong for
 the feed and you are then likely serving a 404 with the feed widget on the
 page this then generates another request ...

 Solving #11585 is the long term solution for this.

 For now I would recommend you run with a mu-plugin which disabled the
 default RSS widget and implements a replacement one with the above rule it
 in to make it easy for you to upgrade when a new version is released.

 Resetting Version to original version the issue was reported in.
