No they shouldn't, hes talking about custom home page, not googles RSS reader
If we were talking about that, how would telling us where it is help? Obviously we would already know that, or we wouldn't know the feeds had gone
And google are smart enough to test on a development server setup. If somethings not working, it means something live broke.
It wasn't Google Reader content, it was some RSS feeds that I fed directly into my google homepage. They just disappeared for no reason. I've added them to the reader and added the reader to the customised homepage, now.
I had to do it twice, since it lost my settings mid-way through. Grr.
EDIT: I just opened my browser. GOOGLE HAS LOST MY CUSTOMISED HOMEPAGE SETTINGS AGAIN!!!!!!!!!
