Putting out a RSS feed does by no means imply consent to third-party use. The same way like putting out pictures doesn't mean everybody can use them. Christ!

  There are at least a dozen third-party Feed Aggregators who disagree and feel that consent is given. Why is this only an issue now?

    Because they make it very much sound like they derive obligations of the publisher from it. Which as far as I know other aggregators haven't done without proper sign up. You will be responsible for any payments that might be due to any contributors or other third parties for the creation and use of your RSS content. Could potentially be a lot of additional trouble if they get a hold of a feed that wasn't intended to be publicly accessible.

      If you must create a convenient channel to disseminate material that leaves you commercially exposed when it actually does get shared, it's probably best you don't make it visible to web crawlers. The only thing Apple is doing differently here to many bots that have boldly gone before is sending a warning message.
