The feeds.php script is designed to be able to make it easy to
set custom options for feeds (such as excluding specific pages),
but when I looked just now it appears there's a bug that prevents
it from working. :-(
So, in 2.2.0-beta20 one would be able to do:
$FeedPageListOpt['list'] = 'normal';
and pages such as GroupFooter, RecentChanges, etc. will be
automatically excluded from ?action=rss output. If you also
wanted to exclude Forum.HomePage from the output, one could do:
$FeedPageListOpt['name'] = '-Forum.HomePage';

Did you mean to say here that a comment added to an existing page
doesn't show up in the RSS feed or in an RSS reader? There's
a small difference -- a comment added to a topic page should still
appear in the RSS feed, but might not appear in some (broken)
RSS readers.
If it's not appearing in the feed itself, it's likely a bug
somewhere. If it's appearing in the feed but not showing as
being updated in a particular newsreader, let's see about
providing a workaround for it.
