I wouldn't have two separate branches for bugfixes and then one for new features - as you noted, it can get hairy. Personally I find the git-flow model very straightforward.

Do normal feature development and bug fixes on the develop branch; save master for production releases. When it's time to make a release, cut a release branch (e.g. r/1.0.1) from the develop branch. Bug fixes that are made on that branch should also be merged into develop. Once the release is made, merge r/1.0.1 back into master and develop and continue on as normal.

Exactly. Security through obscurity does not work (for long, at least).

Is there an argument to be made that the content providers only get 'paid' if the RSS reader is enticed to click through to the site? I'm all for neat services, but I think that this is a little bit unfair to the other party.
