As people have said, it's not much of a weight penalty, particularly once you have a modern carbon fork on it (as the Feather and the other recently posted steel road bikes have). And the high-end steel tubesets are pretty light these days.
Expensive carbon rims on an 80s steel bike with steel forks would be a bit self-defeating though, sure.
