[wp-hackers] how to stop custom post type creating attachment/trackback/feed rewrite rules?

[Kevinjohn Gallagher]

Hi Paul,
Rules are loaded as an array, so you can "unset" them from the array.
2 points to note. 
You then need to flush the rules.If a theme or plugin flushes rules every time they are loaded (99% do - sigh) then you'll need to do so as well.
If you're in no rush I can look out my code tomorrow afternoon.
Kev

My concern is causing the unnecessary rules to be generated, and the possibility of a theme's generic template files being used. For example, I don't want any feed for my post type, but right now I can type the URL in and get fetch a RSS feed. I'm on WP 3.4.
