Two years (and one day ago today), I thought about this as well [1]. Up to this point the only message I ever found in the logs is "last cron not completed"  (or so) which is almost useless. We should focus on more usefull error messages here, for example "The site listed in the aggregator (http://example.com/rss) was unreachable"
