It allows you to check for certain "trigger" events that cause other things to happen - hence the name: "If this then that."

I only want stable versions, because beta versions often require reindexing of your entire Dropbox folder, which is a giant pain since I have more than 150,000 files in my Dropbox account. RSS doesn't require much effort, but I might miss it among all the other feeds, and the RSS feed doesn't just have stable versions of Dropbox, but it also has "testing" (read: "beta") versions.
