RSS feeds for CVS: time for a breakup

Well, not really "a breakup",  but time to break them up.

Here is the background:

In the beginning, there was only a handful of developers, and things were good. Only three committers to core were present, and commits for core were few and far between.

Then more core  committers were added, for past branch,  present one, and HEAD.

As well, more CVS committers were added, and a deluge of themes, modules and translations ensured.

If someone is busy for a week, and comes back, there is no way to catch up.

So, is it time to break the CVS messages  into: core, modules, themes, and translations?

This would make the lists more granular, and help with the information overload situation ...

Thoughts?

I'm not sure there's a way to get a single feed for all
modules, or  
all themes, but you can currently get a feed for just core
or for an  
individual contrib project, right?

For example, I use the following for core and CCK,
respectively ...

     feed://drupal.org/cvs?rss=true&nid=3060
     feed://drupal.org/cvs?rss=true&nid=48429
