Turns out there is a bit of sense in google's move:

.. they apparently are opting out of RSS usage in general:
Oh Google. Thought we wouldn’t notice that you’re trying to kill off not
just Google Reader, but also your support and endorsement for the RSS
format itself? People have just started noticing that Google’s own RSS
Subscription Chrome browser extension has disappeared from the Google
Chrome Web Store. Though it’s unclear at this time exactly when the
extension was removed, the change appears to be recent.
I'm not much of a G+ user, so do any of us use it enough to see if it
really is The Next Big Thing?
In particular, RSS is likely not part of G+, right? I.e. you can't have G+
create a list of recent favorite blog posts?
It certainly keeps track of G+ stuff itself, but if RSS goes, it likely
will stay in its own silo.
