+ 1. I think this is a great idea, and as David mentioned, needs to be
worked at from the planet.wordpress end. What would be great though
would be if users could customize which feeds are displayed on the
dashboard.

That would be especially attractive to people who use WP when
deploying sites for clients. Imagine being able to plugin your company
feed when you ship out WP? That would be great.

Neat idea, and it may clear up the clutter, but I still think a
'manage dashboard feeds' option is very much needed.

I'll be trying Kimmo's patch when I get some time this weekend.
