2) RSS without nodes (in core) is non existing. Thus this is no common setting.
The aggregator module has RSS feeds too.
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. Scattered settings are one of the mayor usability issues in Drupal.
What other settings did you have in mind?
I really think we must get such changes past at least some usability test before they hit core. PAtches are tested and tweaked on comma, tab and spaces level, yet usability is often simply ignored. Herein lies a great opportunity for the community, IMO.
No, this change was a good thing (and tweaked to the comma). If this change needs to evolve, it can. Drupal evolves by means of incremental improvements and refactoring. We don't have usability tests -- how do you envision this to be done? -- Dries Buytaert :: http://www.buytaert.net/
