That's, historically, a pretty interesting reversal - I'm pretty sure I went for RSS (back in the dawn of time around 2000) to avoid the flood of e-mail news/newsletters, and for faster notifications (back then).

Well, I found myself flooded with feeds. That was the idea behind feed2mail - get the important stuff by mail. You are right, this is a pretty interesting reversal.

An odd idea.

I have "some" feeds and getting those emailed to me would suck, unless I went back to using a real email client. And even then, it'd be pretty lousy.
