I've been using Google Alerts via RSS for years now, primarily consuming the alerts by way of Reader, but more recently Feedly.

One thing I didn't expect was to have Alerts drop RSS support coinciding with Reader's death. However, today in Feedly I'm staring at a wall of "Google Alerts no longer supports RSS delivery" items.

This suggests to me that RSS was an output for Google products insofar as it served as a way of feeding content (and eyeballs) into Reader. Now that Reader is gone, why would Google output RSS?

Anyone seeing any other Google RSS feeds failing in a similar fashion?
