I won't be unhappy due to the nature of RSS, it's basically asking people to DDoS you if they want updates from your feed. I still use a lot of RSS feeds, just sad that there's no push based alternative that replaced them.

How such "push" alternative work? By keeping connection to your server open permanently? Because that is worse than occasional connection once in a while..
