Don't make me choose between Atom and RSS

Description

Description:
Offering both Atom and RSS feeds makes subscription UI in Firefox and Safari confusing. Wikipedia should pick one format and make all the <link rel>s point there.

For geeks, it's just a slowdown, but for a first-time feed user, it's the difference between being presented with a meaningless list they'll probably dismiss and being presented with a preview of the feed.
