Are "parsers" and "processors" columns of "feedapi" table being used?

$node->feed->parsers and $node->feed->processors arrays come from content type settings. Per feed settings for parsers and processors are stored in settings column of feed.

If these columns are not used anymore they should be removed.

Well, these columns are not currently used. But the situation will change. There was automatic feed type detection in FeedAPI as a concept at the start of the development. Here I mean: for example someone has an imap parser and there is a feed type: imap. FeedAPI could test the parsers about which one is compatible with that feed url and then save the proper parsers / processors to those fields. I'd like to get back this feature, so that's why i do not drop these fields.
