Being able to have per-category feeds would be extremely cool. Imagine such a feed on QI or FP. Totally awesome.
We do keep timestamp data in the categorylinks table, so it's possible to work out roughly when a page was added to a category. However, AFAIK this is not actually used anywhere.
On a related note, for my Facebook work I put together a patch to allow timestamp data to be exposed through API queries. This would effectively allow many of the Flickr-like functions that are so popular (latest images in a category, for example):

Note that it would be good if some technical types can check this out to make sure it actually works.
