 @[comment:1 scribu]:
 Sorry, I explained it all to Nacin but didn't get it into the ticket
 because it seemed long winded.  The quick example is my beer review site.
 It has two CPTs...beer and beer-review.  I'd like to have a feed for beer-
 review.  Something that other sites could consume and show the kind of
 activity on my site.  However, having an archive page of reviews for all
 different beer reviews really doesn't make any sense because they're just
 too random (however, I do have an archive page for beers).

 The quick solution for me is to turn on archives for both and redirect the
 beer-review archives to the beer archives, but the correct solution is to
 allow feeds without archives.

 The other oddity is the slugs.  If the feed is at `/beer-review/feed/` and
 you remove `feed/` you'll get a 404 if there's no archive.  However, if
 there's no archive the same is true of each review which would look like
 `/beer-review/my-beer-review-slug/`


 @[comment:2 markmcwilliams]: I tested it on trunk at the #wcphx dev day
 and it worked without `has_archive`.  If you don't specify a `has_archive`
 slug it uses the rewrite slug.
