Comment (by johnbillion):

 I spent a couple of hours looking through SimplePie changes since 1.3.3 to
 see if I could identify anything that gives me cause for concern, and the
 **tl;dr** is no I didn't. The majority of the changes are bug fixes and
 several iterations on PHP compatibility.

 I think at this point our best approach is to get this into 5.5 early (ie.
 ASAP), followed up by communication with the authors of the plugins
 mentioned above who are using SimplePie directly and ask them to do some
 testing and check for deprecated notices or warnings. We could extend that
 to plugins that use `fetch_feed()` but that will probably have diminishing
 returns.

 1.5.5 was just tagged, I believe @desrosj is going to submit a patch to
 include the latest changes.
