Personally, as somebody that has unsubscribed from some lists that have 
produced a high quantity of postings, but little (for me) added value, I
 am very happy that, thanks to the no x-post rule, I am no longer 
receiving that huge quantity of mail.

I do have one.
Enforcing the rule reduces the multiplication of messages to receivers 
that are not interested - if they were, they could subscribe to the 
individual lists.
This is the rationale for *having* the rule.

So far, I did not see any rationale for *dropping* the rule.
