Did they remove it due to low usage numbers? Turns out those "few users" are big aggregator scripts and proxies for hundreds, thousands users each :)

And this is one of the many reasons why I'd never use Google for anything B2B, or that I have to rely on.

I do tend to automate things in corporate settings in ways which differ from personal use, and I have seen many similar features break or disappear.

Anyone who automated anything based on RSS now has something broken. I bet that's a lot of enterprise use.

Good old data driven decision making.
