I don't think they're hiding it, it's just not enabled by default. Actually, the feed needs to be enabled under settings, site feed.

That is a manual process. I have found numerous feeds by tacking on the atom.xml when there was no link. Either way, just about every other blog system out there auto enables feeds and a link for it on the front page. Enabling the feed does not put a link in the template. That is a manual process.

How stupid can the clever geeks at Google get!

I failt o see why feeds ought to be unearthed when (a) they exisit and (b) it would be about 30 characters of extra template HTML to add a link. Okay, so Atom is all powerful and not RSS, but whatever flavor of syndication is there, amke it available so folks can use it.
