Hello. At the moment, when you ask for an atom feed

<title>Adam And Eve, SW1H 9EX</title>

Since we now have a proper summary field, should we putting its value in
here instead of the latest change comment?
I think there is continuing confusion about what the RSS feeds are feeds
of -- the content, or the changes?
If they are feeds of changes, then the summary is not correct -- that's
a summary of the node, not of the change.
Boston has always treated them as feeds of nodes, ordered by most recent
update. Hence our (my) full-node-text output by default.
So, I'm in favor, but it does mean changing the meaning of these RSS
feeds, in my eyes, and I think that should be a consideration in the
decision.
