It sucks that this is being removed. All of the other browsers have it and so many websites have supported it. By removing it from easy access you discourage the use of an open standard. It is not just about who clicks on it. It is about who supports it. RSS is used by all kinds of applications and services and anything that discourages its easy usage makes the web a less open place. I can not imagine that there is a significant amount of code to make this work and I don't see how it is causing a reduction in the usage of Firefox. It definitely does not impact workflow but actually improves it. If Firefox is following the road of the bean counter then I think it is time to move on.
