Getting back to a couple thousand unread RSS items after a months holiday is not pleasant. Software is rarely designed to cope with absence.
It also highlighted something to me. Feeds which are lists of new things (e.g. MoMB, eHub etc.) are largely worthless when you are also subscribed to leading feeds in your area of interest (e.g. Read/Write, TechCrunch etc.) Anything interesting in MoMB or eHub will also be picked up by the TechCrunch lads. They will also filter out the uninteresting items that are automatically included in other lists.
The bottom line is that interesting things will come to your attention without you needing to be subscribed to “up to the second” list feeds.
