Microsoft Embracing RSS feeds?

Is it possible that Microsoft is once again embracing the RSS feed?

Over the years, RSS feeds have come and gone so often that many of them are no longer valid. They seem to change weekly. I have always been on the hunt for new feeds and even written PowerShell modules that pull them, parse them, and spit out a local page for viewing. It's very easy to tailor the feed to your needs including Blocklists and Allowlists.

For a long time now many people have used a popular social media site to display updates when we already had a simple and easy way to publish this stuff. Now it appears that Microsoft at least is moving away from this social media method and back to RSS. Here's the "new" Azure status link complete with "rssfeed" in the URL.

Let's hope it's the start of a new trend.
