On the flip side, what percent of RSS feed generators actually support conditional requests? I've written many over the last twenty years and I can tell you plainly, none of the ones I wrote have.
I never even considered the option or necessity. It's easy and cheap just to send everything.
I guess static generators with a apache style web server probably do, but I can't imagine any dynamic generators bother to try to save the small handful of bytes.
