Comment (by mdgl):

 Hmnnn, I'm sure this has come up before (but can't find the relevant
 ticket).

 Shouldn't feeds be "themeable"?  After all, there are many reasons
 (branding, specific content requirements, etc) that themes may want to
 tweak the output of the various feeds.

 So why not make the search for a feed look first in the theme template
 directory (or perhaps better a "feeds" subdirectory of that), falling back
 on the standard location if no template is found.

 You can then remove the obsolete feeds from the standard location, but if
 a theme wants to resurrect one, or customise it in some way, it need only
 create the appropriate template itself.

 This might sound like a new ticket, but really it's just a different way
 of removing the feeds whilst retaining some mechanism for them to be
 returned.
