Comment:

 In my patch,
 [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/32065/32065.diff
 32065.diff], I added a new checkbox control in the widget which can be
 toggled to hide or display the RSS Widget for **non-admin users** if the
 RSS feed url has no items to display. By default, this is **checked**.

 Also, like what @MadtownLems mentioned, only the **admin users** will see
 the widget with the error message - `An error has occurred, which probably
 means the feed is down. Try again later.`. This is so that the admin can
 easily know that his / her RSS widget has problems.
