Wow, you're right. I just checked one of my sets and am not seeing an RSS feed link. Presumably the old link would work if you happened to have it, but this may be something else removed.

As far as I can tell, there are no longer RSS feeds at the bottom of Favorites pages, Contacts pages, Set pages, or Photostream pages.
(Even if Flickr re-adds the feed link, it needs to be at the top -- since some of these pages now have "infinite scroll", which means you'll never get to the bottom.)

Is it infinite? The photostream paginates at 100200, though admittedly it sometimes feels like infinity before you get there.
ETA: Actually it's 200. I was fooled by the page numbers at the bottom, which are my photostream size divided by 100. But each page of the photostream is actually showing 200, and when you get to the bottom, the indicated page has gone up by 2.

If Flickr have phase out RSS then this is a truly sad day. It has effectively broken Flickr for me and no doubt for many others.

Someone might want to post this to Feedback or Bugs in case it gets more notice here. It's already on page 4 this morning.

The RSS URLs are still discoverable if your browser has an indicator for it in the toolbar, but since that seems to be getting deprecated by the browser makers, keeping it on the web pages becomes more important.
IE & Firefox have "Subscribe" buttons which detect RSS/Atom feeds & when you click on them takes you to the feed URL (though you may have to customize your browser toolbar to add them). Chrome would need an extension to add that button.

Feedburner couldn't autodetect the feed on my set. Any luck figuring this out, OP?

The RSS links were useful for 3rd party applications to get user ID and album ID required in Flickr API queries... Not a big issue compare to the benefit of new interface and 1 terabyte of free storage!!!

Looking again, I see that the RSS feeds aren't published on the Set pages, just on the user's main Photostream. I'm sure when I posted my previous reply that I'd seen it on the Set pages too, but not any more.
Anyways, the RSS URL for a Photostream is: www.flickr.com/services/feeds/photos_public.gne?id=USER@I...
Where you're replace the USER@ID with the ID value shown in the Photostream's URL, which tends to follow a pattern similar to: ########@A##.

That's for the whole photostream, though. Can you provide information for a single set?

Links like this still seem to work:
api.flickr.com/services/feeds/photoset.gne?set=#######&am...
Where the ####'s are replaced with the set ID#, and USER@ID with the user ID value.

RSS Links on the set page were always a convenience thing I would think.
But the lack of link rel=alternate metadata pointing to the rss format should be a bug if it's missing all the sudden (which it appears to be?). Though honestly don't know if it was ever there.
Feed services are documented here, but Sets were not previously mentioned if I recall.
www.flickr.com/services/feeds/
I believe that page has needed an update quite a while.
