Not really.  org-feed will 'leak' memory each time you run
org-feed-update (the buffers with feed data will never be removed), but
that shouldn't add up to great amounts.  (Especially if you regularly
restart Emacs.)

Half correct.  Prior to Emacs 23, ignore-errors was defined in the cl
package, which isn't loaded by default; in Emacs 23, it is in subr.el,
which _is_ loaded by default.

Adding:

(eval-when-compile (require 'cl))

at the top of org-feed.el is the traditional way of loading it.
