@aleyx explained it pretty well--doing large numbers of updates at once (where 'large' is generally anything more than ~25) is not a polite thing to do. It's a lot of traffic on the site(s) and can get you blocked.
As for RSS feeds, I'm not personally interested in pursuing. But I will accept code contributions if someone else comes up with a clean way to do it.
Something I have been experimenting with is using IMAP to get URLs for updates from the site update notice emails. FFDL on command looks for unread emails in a specified folder/label that contain story URLs and then marks them read before popping up the regular download-from-urls dialog prefilled with the story URLs.
It works with my GMail account, but it requires giving your email address and password to FFDL/calibre. And you have to have IMAP available/turned on.
Are people willing to give FFDL/calibre their address and password?
(I experimented with GMail using OAuth also, but it was considerably more complex and would only work with GMail.)
