They're in the queue. Also, I'm less interested in the current  
aggregator (which uses non-standard categories and lots of other  
stuff) than I am in aggregator2 (feeds AND. I've just pinged the  
author again, and hopefully we'll get a commit, otherwise I'll just  
commit the version I have as a zip.

Karoly, I'm definitely interested in "user feeds", and I think that  
would make sense to make part of the current aggregator. The way I  
see it, the current aggregator becomes optimized for reading and  
multi-user, and aggregator2 is basically for content syndication  
directly between sites -- I actually pinged Jon VanDyke about this,  
since it seems to tie into publish/subscribe.
