The FeedsController manages the lifecycle of feeds and their
associated content windows (previews).

[1] A published feed is never demoted to a draft feed. Instead, a
new draft feed is created (recording the original in copy_of)
and the original published feed is left unchanged until the draft
feed is published.
[2] A published feed is never mutated. Instead, a new published feed
is created and the original published feed is unregistered and
destroyed.
Publishing is not atomic: it saves, seeds, publishes, registers, and destroys the original as separate steps.
Deleting a feed in any state unregisters and destroys it.
