We don't have official RSS feed support for now, but we're working on a solution

For what it's worth, when the answers are "we are working on a solution" and "we are working on making sure this lands", to me, that is classical business speak for "we are not going to add it, but will present an alternative (that probably doesn't meet your needs the way it did)."

I'm leaning toward giving the benefit of the doubt in this case, but why be oblique like this? Why not say "We are working on adding RSS" or "we are aiming to restore RSS support"?

Sorry - it was business speak, it's certainly words that we use internally, the intent was to say we are working on adding RSS back to the site.

All of these statements seem quite similar to me. Especially "we are aiming to restore RSS support" is even less committal. To me, Pauls post reads like a pretty direct promise to restore that functionality and not like business speak.
