Nobody "left it on." It was part of the output and you're the first person to ever mention this as an issue.

which work fine for every feed I've encountered except Mediawiki's, where someone left debugging on in the production version.
And readers will not necessarily stop comparing content just because there now is a guid.
And we shouldn't be required to ask reader packages to implement an Atom version, because we can't use RSS anymore, just because someone left debugging turned on.

Nor why must we start using extensions, just because someone has left debugging turned on.
