Indeed, it seems RSS support has been dropped. I believe it used to be
available as well in the past.

Well, there are actually two feeds; the "Wikipedia atom feed" is also present,
just not visible in the page as a link.

It is not necessary to actually look at the source code of the page. A browser
that supports native feed detection (Firefox does, Chrome doesn't) will light
up the feed button that will display a feed subscription page if clicked on. If
there is more than one feed (as is the case of the history view), clicking the
button will show a dropdown box with all available feeds.

As I see it, the request is to enable the page-specific feed on action=view,
not necessarily as a visible link (though that would make sense). Removing the
site-wide feed is a parallel request, and I agree with it as well: it should
only be present in Special:RecentChanges and the main page (in addition to the
page history feed, in the latter case).
