The end-less scroll of feeds in GR is not just a UI feature. It's an incredible/killer data feature that let you go back to the entire history of a feed (since GR start to capture the feed for anybody), even if you just subscribed to a new feed. It's content sharing at its finest.

GR is not just feed aggregator but the most complete feed archive ever existed -- am I the only one who realize this?

I don't think there'll be an adequate GR replacement, ever! unless G donates the feed archive to the public, which I think would be one of the best things G can do now.

You are not the only one to realize this.

http://www.archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Google_Reader has backed up 30 million feeds so far. (And needs everybody's OPML files to back up more.)
