Comment (by Iceable):

 42254.2.diff moves the main part of `wp_widget_rss_output()` into a new
 function called `wp_widget_rss_get_entries()` which returns the feed's
 entries in an array.

 The dashboard widget uses the new `wp_widget_rss_get_entries()` function
 to get the entries from the two feeds only handles the output with custom
 code to skip duplicates.

 Dry-ier than the first patch and `wp_widget_rss_output()` 's behavior and
 output should not be affected, though it might need testing if this is
 decided to be the way to go. (See notes in ticket:42254#comment:3 for
 testing)
