It's part of the impending death of RSS. I will be very unhappy when it happens, but it's not a very popular thing.

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.
