Comment (by rubys):

 The way I figure it, going from hardcoding the default feed format to
 hardcoding the info for all of the feed formats is but a half step.  A
 plugin is still required, and allowing people to control the full info
 means they can add I♥RSS icons, or links to the feed validator, or
 translate the long name into Russian or whatever.  Furthermore, specific
 themes could even check for additional information that is not provided by
 the default.

 If you look at the actual sample plugin for Atom, it really isn't all that
 much burden to the plugin authors, and reduces bloat from the WP Core.

 *shrug*

 I suggest you try the patch.  Create a clean wordpress install with the
 default theme, install the patch and active the Atom plugin and see what
 you think.  If you still prefer hardcoding the info for the feed formats
 in the core, I'm entirely OK with that.

 Unrelated: any idea why Trac won't show an HTML preview for my patches,
 but will show yours?
