Comment (by seanleavey):

 Thanks for your comment. I already saw that plugin. The problem there is
 that it does not remove the feed URL from the "Meta" widget that is built-
 in to WordPress, where template overrides have no effect. Users will be
 confused at the presence of (broken) feed URLs. It's not currently
 possible to change the printing of the URLs there because in the source
 for the widget there is no hook to override the display of the URL (you
 can change the URL, but not remove the link).

 If a configuration option is out of the question, then can there at least
 be a hook provided before
 [https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress/blob/89cb4caddc229db62303e7e07f619d66d7fce6ef
 /wp-includes/widgets/class-wp-widget-meta.php#L59 line 59] of `class-wp-
 widget-meta.php` to allow a plugin to stop the printing of the feed URLs,
 therefore allowing a plugin to '''completely''' remove any trace of feeds?

 I get that WordPress core should be as free of bloat as possible, but in
 this case it's not (yet) possible to accomplish this goal competely with a
 plugin.
