 Should the project owner have more control over the feed than uploading a
file? For example what does the project owner do if they want official
releases in the feed but not test packages?
    

Filtering wasn't really the design concept; the idea was for a simple feed 
that shows updated files.  Now granted, the feature request was years old 
(probably before updates.rdf was a supported format for new updates), but it 
seemed like a good idea nonetheless for users to be able to keep track of 
what projects were doing.
I suppose it depends on who the target audience of the feed is? In its current state it probably needs to be clearly stated what the purpose of the feed is and try to direct the average user to stay away, give a nice warning that the content may be developmental, use at your own risk etc.

Maybe see what others think?
