Good. Are these the ones you mentioned a couple of months ago [1]?

Yes, use one of yours. Migration-wise, the old one is currently empty,
so I'd say, just replace it. unstable is where we push to, would IMHO
lend itself as a good replacement (redirect from the old feed URL to the
new one). Those who want specific release branch update information can
subscribe to the individual feeds.

Content-wise, the title of each feed item currently says "Updated $pkg"
or "Added $pkg", could you add the new version information to it so that
it e.g. says "Updated $pkg x.y,REV=...."? Then a stream of such titles
could go onto our frontpage.
