Given that RSS done right is a self-maintaining gimme, I would question the professional judgment of anyone who actually takes the time to remove it.

- shadowgovt 5y agoSelf-maintaining code is a very rare thing. In general, if they were truly seeing no uptake on it, they could just be justified removing it to decrease their security surface (https://www.acunetix.com/vulnerabilities/web/wordpress-plugin-rss-feed-reader-rss_url-parameter-cross-site-scripting-0-1/ https://www.acunetix.com/vulnerabilities/web/wordpress-plugi...). I'd have to know which NGO and what their circumstances are to have a more concrete opinion. With no additional information, I can construct a hypothetical scenario where a reasonable site admin would yank RSS.
