Probable issue in feed generation

[neonira]

I am currently unable to get the result I expect that is to generate feed from my website excluding 5 given categories.

Result I got is systematically fully completed feed with all the feeds, including the ones from undesired categories. Any hint ?

This is the feed section extracted from my _config.yml file

feed:
  posts_limit: 50
  excerpt_only: true
  path: "/feed.x.xml"
  tags:
    except:
      - books
      - nature
      - enterprise
      - linuxverse
      - france

The feed.tags.except configuration is applicable only for tags, i.e. items under site.tags. For items under site.categories, there is filter option currently. The only way is to explicitly list just the desired category name .
