Can default taxonomy destinations be disabled?

so for the authors taxonomy you want

  • RSS feed
  • NO taxonomy pages

and for all other taxonomies you want both

right?

if so, you could deal with the output formats and create an /content/authors/_index.md containing

---
cascade:
   outputs:
      - RSS
---

which will be rendered as:

public
│   index.html
│   index.xml
│
├───authors
│   │   index.xml
│   │
│   └───me
│           index.xml
│
├───categories
│       index.html
│       index.xml
