Comment (by Otto42):

 Even the newer Magpie is still pretty poor at Google feeds. I did the same
 thing with one of my older plugins (dropped in a newer Magpie). But the
 simple fact is that Magpie is a dead project.

 The latest version of it is ''three years old'':
 http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=55691

 We should use software that is actively supported and maintained.

 As far as backward compatibility goes, that's easy. We leave the rss-
 functions.php file there as is, and use some other file instead. Add the
 deprecated tags and function calls to it. Change all the internal bits of
 WordPress to use the new library. Remove Magpie after a few versions. No
 problem.
