I could see how some would object and I could see several reasons why it
is a not so good idea.

1.  Having an informal method of forwarding messages from other lists
could lead to multiple people deciding to forward the same and
additional messages from other lists that they feel are "useful".  All
potentially causing "list pollution".  So, it should be discouraged.

2.  Forwarding edited messages could result in portions being removed
that some would find useful.  (Why does the person forwarding get to
decide what is "important"?)

3.  Forwarding weekly/monthly messages in a manual way should include
the commitment to do it long term and without delay.  e.g. no delayed
forwarding because one is "on vacation".

It doesn't bother me too much since I would just ignore it.  Generally,
I do prefer to get only messages from lists to which I've subscribed. 
Besides, this is only being done as a knee-jerk reaction to recent events.
