Comment (by markjaquith):

 Renaming now.  Good call.

 Regarding PHP version... we're using SimplePie (and were using MagpieRSS)
 for non-essential functionality at this point.  I'm not opposed to upping
 WordPress' minimum PHP version (anyone using PHP versions that old is open
 to a myriad of security issues anyway), but I'm not sure that this is the
 change that should necessitate it.  If they want to install it and do
 without the Dashboard feeds, why not let 'em?

 Sounds like a good wp-hackers topic.
