Tried that a few years back. Unmitigated failure. Turned out there
were just too many people who felt they didn't need administrative
messages, and got way too hostile about it when they were told they
didn't get that option. however, sending those messages to each list
individually didn't generate this problem, but as soon as the admin
stuff starts coming out on some other list, you'll have fights with
people who want to turn it off.
