It may be good for educational purposes, but it's not practical at all. There are always updates to sites. People update sites to keep network traffic coming to it, otherwise no matter how many people you have, no updates = your site going down the drain slowly.
The concept is ok, but the idea is not practical whatsoever if you know how to read the site through the means I suggested.
The example I posted is NOT for updating your site, and it isn't an RSS feed.
It's for automatically updating your programs without the need to have your program users to visit a website, search for a download link and hope it's the correct version.
The entire purpose of the source code the original poster provided is the fact that the user isn't required to manually visit the website and look at the source code, so calling it unpractical because you can do it manually is down right stupid.
