Would anyone else like RSS, or is it just me?

Okay, first of all - I don't want to be demanding changes to the forum because I know Jazzy, Ty, and anyone else who is capable of doing this forum changing stuff doesn't have infinite time, least of all to spend hours of time doing things just for *my* convenience.
However, I would absolutely love it if there was some sort of rss feed that just spat out the new topics when they're posted. It would only be a convenience of course.
I'm talking about something like this feed:
https://crawl.develz.org/tavern/feed.php?mode=topics
The forum that uses this is based in phpBB, but I'm not sure if it's a mod that gives it the rss or some other technical reason.
In any event, I did a brief google and found this:
http://kb.siteground.com/article/How_to ... phpBB.html
It's info about a mod for phpBB2 and phpBB3 for RSS. I'm not sure if it's actually helpful.
My main point in posting this is two-fold, though:
1) Do other people want this? If only one or two of us want this it's hardly worth doing.
2) Is it going to be spectacularly simple to implement to the point of Jazzy sending me a message in 10 minutes saying "THE FEEDS WORK NOW SO STOP RAMBLING IN YOUR POST", or will implementing it require weeks and weeks of hard labor that involve going on a quest to the server room in Uzbekistan that holds the 1s and 0s that make up this forum and REVERSING THE POLARITY and we MAY NOT SURVIVE?????????????????
