Is it not possible to stop the aggregator module to stop creating a block for every feed you add. So that one can select when adding a feed if a block should also be added. If you have a lot of feeds you have a lot of blocks taking up a lot of valuable space in the Block admin section. Anybody agree?

I know this is a really old issue, but I noticed it while looking through the Aggregator issue queue and wanted to supply an answer.

There is a field in the database for each Aggregator feed and category called "block." Setting the value of block to 0 should prevent the block from being shown. I'm positive this works in 7.x. I haven't actually tested it for 6.x, but I did check the code repository and it appears to behave the same way.

In 7.x this setting was added to the feed and category admin forms, but it doesn't look like that happened for 6.x, so the change will have to be made to the database directly.
