Their README insists its in the download package but it is not currently. I did find it in Git.

I missed this during my first round of debugging because your FAQ references SimplePie requirement for cURL which was enabled just fine — however SimplePie has a long list of dependencies.

Turns out my upgrade from Ubuntu 12.04 to 16.04 had a few issues with dependencies and PHP MBSTRING / XML support were missing so SimplePie support was broken.
This plugin should have an automated dependency checker. I had to find the SimplePie dependency check in a Git repo which quickly pointed me in the correct direction.
This is resolved.
