... Oh cr*p (apologies for foul language) ! 
This is indeed true for now (ca. 00:45 UTC). 
I tested an hour ago and all was fine :-( 

 This is either nerves war or the real deal 
(i.e. permanent shut-off of legacy feeds). 
One has to wonder though, do they really 
have staff  that work past midnight to kill 
things off?

 I guess the shutting off of the podcast feeds 
two days ago was a bad omen...

Let's wait and see what next morning brings... 

(.... and how I just hate myself for always 
putting off GiP downloads for later..)
