WordPress question – is this right to detect the main feed?

if ( is_feed() && !( is_archive() || is_singular() ) ) { ... }

What about:

if ( is_feed() && is_home()) { ... }

The is_singular() checks the site is a single post or page.

  Unfortunately is_home is false in the main feed, thus the not check. Ticket #20899 exists but hasn’t gone anywhere, I suspect a fix risks breaking a few sites.
