I see that as a benefit, rather than a problem. I used the help wiki as a compromise before the blog was fully operational and also, admittedly, the "What's new" text has been pretty last minute and so it took less time to point to existing documentation about the feature, than to write a good blog post about each.

I'm in two minds about this. Right now, we use "What's new" to say what's new in the latest release. If we want to continue to use "What's new" in that way, then a regularly updated feed may not be appropriate.
However, if we want "What's new" to be regularly updated throughout the cycle - we could even rename the section "Launchpad news" - then the RSS feed makes sense to me, because it prevents duplication of effort.
