Comment(by redsweater):

 What makes it "common sense" that this is plugin material?

 Should the setting for controlling how many posts are in the RSS Feed be
 eliminated and moved to a plugin?

 Please provide us with a little more information about your decision - the
 common sense you allude to is not self-evident.  My best interpretation of
 what you are saying is that because it is possible to implement the
 feature as a plugin, that is necessarily where it should be done.

 I would tend to agree with lapcat's assessment above: "The basic
 functionality of WordPress in this area is broken."  Generally speaking,
 fundamentally broken things should be fixed in the product, not in a
 plugin.
