Nix customarily uses HTTP redirects to provide download link versioning, but Arch Linux uses proper web feeds https://archlinux.org/feeds/, and the more I think about it the more I like this idea. Though unsure how to deal with feeds that combine multiple packages into one etc.
Possibly this could also subsume other forms of pin types, like GitHub artifacts in #44, by allowing to easily host an RSS bridge from whatever domain-specific layout to the thing npins consumes
