However, my main concern is how to handle existing feed packages? We currently have XML_Feed_Parser and XML_RSS packages in the XML category, and if we introduced a Feed category, users would probably expect to find these packages in Feed, not XML. But migrating these packages to Feed category would pose an issue existing users, so I'm not sure there is a suitable way handle this. I'm +1 if we can come up with a good solution to this issue.
