It looks like there is really no reason to use Feedburner anymore. It seems that Google just implemented the bare minimum to avoid completely breaking URLs (or at least they tried and apparently missed some cases). It seems that it is now just a bit-for-bit proxy of the original feed. There appears to be no WebSub support anymore, no stats, no "feed preview". Really all it does now is change the URL (and maybe some caching?).
It would be nice if they added an option to redirect the feedburner URL to an external feed to aid moving off of it but that doesn't appear to be an option at the moment. Although with the `self` link preserved a few readers will likely attempt to migrate to the source URL, however the vast majority probably won't.
