[wp-hackers] RSS/Atom Feed Article Categories Gone

If I keep this up, Akismet is going to label me a spammer! <G>

Just a quickie update: I've emailed Christine, but I've found a workaround
that suggests that this is a WP 2.1 bug or plugin-breaker.

Viewing the RSS 2.0 feed with UTW installed = No categories in feeds
Viewing the Atom 0.3 feed with UTW installed = Categories in feeds like
always

Just some food for thought and a quick workaround for anyone currently using
WP 2.1 and relying on the excellent UTW for tagging.
