Can you provide some details as to how this is managed and generated?
Is there an entry limit, or how long will package updates appear in
these feeds?  Is it possible to continue to provide a link to the
upstream errata notification or at least provide a matching ID number?

The way this looks right now this will actually be more difficult to
work with than just scraping the mailing list has been for CentOS 6 and
7.  It's nice seeing the RPM %changelog in the description, but
everything else is worse from my perspective.
 

Agreed. Nobody uses RSS anymore. Emails are much simpler to use as a sysadmin. 

Please, please, change this practice back to the previous method ASAP.
