Comment (by jeremyclarke):

 The newer versions of Magpie do a great job at lots of feed types and
 don't break the existing uses of the old version of the library in wp. the
 feedwordpress plugin (an aggregator) asks you to upload two files into wp-
 includes that overwrite the existing magpie with an updated version and it
 works fine. see this article about it:
 http://projects.radgeek.com/2008/04/18/compatability-bugs-and-possible-
 quick-fixes-for-issues-with-feedwordpress-after-upgrading-to-wordpress-25/

 I think using those files would be great for wp as a whole and for
 encouraging people to use those libraries like they use jquery rather than
 including a whole other library just for the plugin. it would also be nice
 to not have to re upload them each time there's an upgrade.

 If that's not an option then +1 for abstracting it out a bit so that
 plugins can at least overwrite the library in favor of their own without
 overwriting the files (FWP could then just use the newer version on their
 own time but keep the wrappers and stuff).
