 The magpie RSS reader caches feeds in the wp_options table for a period of
 1 hour, currently. This bloats the options table pretty severely if
 somebody uses a lot of RSS feeds, and leaves RSS feed caches lying around
 if somebody ceases to use them anymore.

 This needs some work done on it to clean up old or unused feeds after some
 period of time.

 Suggestion: It would be nice if this used the object caching stuff
 instead. Problem with this notion is that the object cache doesn't
 actually cache anything anywhere persistent by default, so perhaps it
 could use the object cache if there is some kind of actual persistent
 caching plugin hooked to it.

 Suggestion 2: Get rid of Magpie. Really. Switch to SimplePie or some other
 feedreader that a) works properly and b) is still being actively
 developed/maintained.
