No, I will not put ads into my RSS feeds!
Feedburner has just enabled its users to insert Google Adsense-powered Ads in their feeds (which includes mine;). Ads can now be automatically put into each post, and OUCH into each feed. I tried it, once, and as a reader of 800+ feeds, I would hate it, no doubt, so.... you won't be seeing ads in my feeds anytime soon. Let's see what everybody else does with this, but Google Adsense powered stuff in feeds seems like a decidedly Advertising1.0 thing to me - if these ads were totally meaningful, personalized and 100% accurate and would thus add real value to my feeds, I'd consider it. But like this - more interruption, more adspam? Nope.
