This is probably not what you think it is. It's not like we're removing RSS feeds from the entire system. We're actually just removing UI elements for a messaging system feature that never even existed.

To clarify what happened, please run this query on your system:

SELECT * FROM message_transport_types;

All you should see is email and sms. These represent the ways the messaging system can send out messages.

However, in the spec that I had to work with, the UI mockup contained an option for an rss transport type that had not existed before. At first, I thought I'd add go ahead and add another transport type so that I could implement what I saw in the mockup. But later on, when I realized that messaging system didn't have any support for this transport mechanism, I decided that it was pointless to pretend that it did, so I got rid of it.

This was also my first encounter with the messaging system, and I was trying to figure out what was going on. I was just undoing something that I shouldn't have even done in the first place. No real functionality disappeared as a result of this.

Can someone point me at the reasoning for removing RSS features from
the user interface, please? Are they currently broken and, if so,
where's the bug report?

Thanks,
