 > I'd say that'd be for not 404'ing valid feed url's, For example, the
 Feed url of a empty category, The feed is a valid feed, even if it has no
 posts.

 No, the issue isn't with empty feeds. If you try to access a feed for an
 empty category you just get an empty feed (status 200), which is fine.

 The problem is when you try to access the feed for a non-existent
 category, then you still get a feed template, which doesn't make sense,
 instead of a proper 404 page.

 I think is_feed() and is_404() should be mutually exclusive. You cannot
 have both returning true at the same time.
