 * I’m sorry, but it’s entirely unreasonable to develop a WordPress plugin that 
   requires the installation of some code from a random GitHub repo onto the server(
   SimplePie).
 * That breaks every rule about code safety and integrity.
 * I’ll find another RSS aggregator.

 * Hi [@corradomella](https://wordpress.org/support/users/corradomella/), can you
   please elaborate on this? WordPress has SimplePie built-in as a core library 
   to parse atom and RSS feeds. We don’t require anyone to install any additional
   code from GitHub to use WP RSS Aggregator.
