@mcscx2 there's the # plugin which lets you replicate RSS/Atom and some non-working hidden code I believe that intended to make it easy to replicate remote feeds based on # ID.

The RSS/Atom feed mirroring doesn't work well though, as it requires a PuSH server right now which most hosts lack. But recently I've pushed the basis of a # plugin that can take care of polling dumb feeds. So there's no need for third party "rss 2 status" scripts and so ;)
