> Are there any technical reasons to use RSS instead of Atom in new deployments?
There's no technical reason. Unfortunately many CMSes still emit barely usable RSS v2. There's also the branding issue of RSS the format essentially being the name of the technology. Someone saying "I want an RSS feed" ends up with the implementer making an RSS v2 feed rather than a better Atom feed and just labeling it RSS.
