I don't know what the rationale for removing it was, but you can get it back by using the Views module, which will do RSS feeds for content types: http://drupal.org/project/views

Ah but I don't think it will do a feed of comments by node type? which is the point of this module. Views only deals in nodes.

I'd like to keep the simplicity of the module, so it is going to keep providing feeds for core built-in stuff. Core does not have "feeds of nodes of such and such type", so commentrss does not going to have a corresponding comment feed. Views on the other hand has this feature, and the Drupal 6 views module coming up has fine features to generate lists of comments even in feed format based on whatever (node) criteria you have. So there is no point whatsoever to implement this in the D6 version. For the D5 version, I tried to look into it, but it does not look simple at all (also talked to Earl Miles, and he suggested some grand hacks only).
