Akregator does not prevent adding the same feed multiple times. In my
opinion, this is a bug in the specification, although not in the
implementation.

Actually I consider it an implementation bug ;-)
It's perfectly fine IMO to have a feed in multiple folders (think of categories or tags where every item can have multiple tags). However, Akregator considers both entries as separate feeds which unfortunately share the same article archive, which can lead to all kinds of strange behavior. Ideally there would be exactly one "logical" feed with the ability to appear in multiple folders.

I agree with Frank, this should be possible, and it could be handled
better. Not only avoid the need of Akregator internals to have
duplicated information or refresh the same feed twice, but also so you
can mark one of the instances of the feed as “read”, and get the other
one marked as “read” as well.

In addition, I would say that you should get a warning dialog when doing
it (in case you did not want to add a duplicated feed), so you can
cancel if you want to.
