Based on ongoing discussion in the atom-syntax mailing list over my Making Atom Happen proposal, most of them are not even taking the proposal seriously.  One even called it trolling.  Hogwash.  If you are doing something that affects my life, I have the right to do something about it.

So it looks like all of us are going to pay for their pride and esthetic obsession: a sin tax over the syntax fetish.  If you want to do something about it, go to the JustSayNoToAtomFeed page at Atom Wiki and add your voice of support.  If we are going to be ignored anyway, lets get ignored blatantly.  It doesn't matter if you are a developer or a user, you'll be taxed so you have a say.
