Speaking of RSS:
A few days ago (Feb 12), LWN's Comments RSS feed changed such that all comments are, now, authored by "LWN.comments" instead of the actual comment author. I, at least, see this change as a loss of important information as it is no longer possible to give "weight" to comments based on prior experience with a comment's author.

After twenty years of reading comments byway of the RSS feed, this is a sorely missed "feature" ... not a complaint, more of a lament ...

There have been changes to the RSS feed - we moved forward to RSS 2.0, a mere 22 years after it was established. The behavior you describe is, to use a technical term, a bug. Next time, lament to us directly and maybe it'll get fixed sooner :)
