Yes, intl is meant to replace idn and to make it backwards-compatible a couple 
of functions are exported under the same name, causing the conflict.

That's up to whoever is behind libphp-simplepie. -idn also provided a few 
other functions which -intl doesn't.

However, the conflict was meant to be handled by the extensions manager, but 
that's another story...
