For now you can use the following in local/config.php to offer RSS 2.0
and Atom feeds:

    ## Activate RSS and Atom Feeds.
    if ($action == 'rss' || $action == 'atom') {
      @include_once("$FarmD/scripts/feeds.php"); }

Patrick's $EnableFeeds = 1 suggestion was proposed so there would be a
variable that indicates if feeds are enabled.  That way, for example,
a skin.php file could adapt according to whether feeds are enabled or
not.
