Agree, a simple "RSS app" isn't a core app. But with your idea, it become a foundamental app ;) > _It appeared to me that I would like the following features:_ > *categories/lists: *It should be easy to create groups (like tech news, > economy news, political news, global news, local news, ...).

It's could be interesting, if well design: no more a RSS app, but a "newscenter app": you can easily read your favourite newspaper, with status of your best friends on Facebook, and the news by Ubuntu Community on G+! So, with a single app, you have the control on whatever happen in this crazy world! Fantastic!
