Just to reiterate - this implementation means that it is not exactly  
the same as looking at the status screens. The feeds are based on  
notifications, so, for instance, the status screens will show a soft  
failure, but the RSS will only show on hard failures.

You could think there is a timing limitation, since a service would  
have to go through first failure + retries then notify on RSS, then  
the RSS reader would have a polling cycle before it reaches the  
operator's eyes - this may not be quick enough for an operations team.
