I think it would be ok if you just add an option where the user can 
overwrite the name for her RSS feed files, default it to rss.xml and 
everything should work like it is now. If someone needs to change the 
name, the option is available.

Redirect support could go into the upstreaming drivers - if it's FTP or 
LFS, you could optionally generate a .htaccess file with the right 
Apache directives. Keep in mind that redirections can only be done on 
non-community servers - PyCS can redirect, but there is no user 
controlled way to do it.

Actually I think switching from our several pings to just one ping to 
rpc.pingomatic.com would do much better :-)

We still would need to ping other things, though - for example the 
local community server won't be pinged by pingomatic. But all the 
predefined pings like weblogs, technorati, blogs would be pinged by it.
