Or a slightly difference to accommodate those blogging from serendipity:
keep s9y for authoring but just redirect a.k.o/blog/feed.rss to
/planet/feed.rss (other wherever those feeds live).
Meanwhile remove all external aggregated feed from s9y. They need to
pass via the aggregation module so they end up on /planet.
