WordPress to drop RDF / RSS 1.0

WordPress developers are planning to drop RSS 0.92 and RDF / RSS 1.0 feeds from the blog engine.
Unless someone can provide a good reason not to - e.g., that there are people using it.

[wp-hackers] Ditch RDF and RSS 0.92

... We came to the conclusion that RDF and RSS 0.92 are basically way too old to still be in the WordPress core, so they should be removed. If they are sorely needed by someone a plugin can replace them.

I hope that RDF 1.0 will not be dropped - and there are many Semantic Web hackers who are using WordPress and the RDF feed that it produces.

These discussions are not without a bit of curiosity though - one of the commenters [to the related Trac issue #2277] suggested dropping Atom support as well - with a similar motivation: "+1 to ditch Atom too. Atom is a dead end technology. MS, AOL and Yahoo all chose RSS. Google is providing RSS and Atom. Plus, having several formats confuses users, and I cannot name a single feed reader who cannot understand both formats."

I'm disappointed to hear this news. I hope WordPress dev will continue to support RSS 1.0 (RDF). I blogged some of my thoughts.

Kristaps (et al.) if you want to make a difference, don't just digg the post, it's more important to leave a comment on Trac opposing the suggestion.

Well, Rich, I am not a WordPress user and I don't think I will be such in nearest future (I'm developing my own public blog service [at blogs.7x24.lv currently]). WordPress users should be these who leave their comments on Trac, not me.

RSS is vital to modern day communication. This would be a shame. I host an RSS page of my own here RSS Technology Feeds, and I think it would be a mistake to prevent similar exchanges of information.

I hope they reconsider this decision.
