Atom is a much better format than RSS, and pretty much all modern feed reader agents support both. Advertising both formats usually results in two choices for "live bookmark" type features, which is confusing to the user.

I'm not sure how good an idea to remove the site-wide RC feed is (It feels like one should be able to set $wgOverrideSiteFeed to some special value in order to accomplish this [you can't currently]). Some wikis might not want the history page feeds to be on view actions (for example Wikinews, since they probably want to push its RSS feed of latest articles), but they are probably few and far between (and I could be wrong about how wikinews would feel) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
