@jbaty this seems somewhat odd and anti open net.

I am wondering about the insecurity claims. Is there anything about attacks via rss feeds? I suppose wordpress may generate it on demand, but it typically is just static content like CSS, html, images, etc. There is no interactivity from the client side.

Does anyone know if these claims are in the slightest based in reality? 

 @4e7c3231 @8714de25 I see about five websites who use my (full-feed) RSS feed to copy my stuff, cover it with ads, and reproduce it on their shitty website.

Sometimes I put Easter eggs in the RSS feed to learn the IP address of the scraper, so I can feed that website different content. Relatively simple to do, and easy to put most undesirable content on their website.
