We debated this for a while and decided not to do channels for now.
Feeds are great because you can use them to integrate with other pieces of the infrastructure like RabbitMQ or ElasticSearch, or write reactive apps where clients instantaneously react to changes in other clients. Incidentally, you can use them to easily get pubsub, but it wasn't the original intention.
There are much better pub/sub services out there, so we decided to stick to having a really good feed API and avoid implementing channels for the time being.
