The feeds of a subscribed OPML come and go with it. When the OPML stops listing a feed, everyone loses it, unless it had downloads, in which case it is kept as "orphaned". When you leave the OPML, you lose all of its feeds. There is no way to say "I want this one whatever the OPML does".

Wanted: a per-person choice on a feed from an OPML (or a Patreon creator) to keep it. When the OPML drops it, or you leave the OPML, it stays on your list as a podcast of its own, outside the OPML. Anyone who had it only through the OPML, without keeping it, loses it as before.

Done in 2c4ba78: Keep, in the settings of a show inside an OPML (or a Patreon creator), sets kept on your subscription. When the OPML drops a kept show, or nobody subscribes to the OPML any more, it becomes a catalogue feed outside the OPML and stays on the lists of whoever kept it; leaving the OPML leaves what you kept on your list. Deployed as ipx 1.3.1-dev and ipx-web.
