Therefore I think this RSS setting should live under settings >> RSS settings, so that contribs can add LOCAL_TASKS or so. The current placement requires any other RSS setting (by a contrib) to be placed elsewhere.
As a new Drupal admin it seems to me that if a module has settings then it creates a new settings pane like: ?q=admin/settings/pathauto I think I would be confused if modules started adding extra setting options into existing settings panes. Are there existing examples of this sort of behaviour?
