 1. It might result a long-term up and down of relay bw. Imageing a case,
 where for some reason a relay reports a lower traffic. It will get a lower
 weigth which  yields into lower traffic and so on.

 2. It invites people to manipulate the weight of their relays.


 BTW: In IRC there are hints and tipps flying around how and where to
 change the Tor source code to manipulate the transferred traffic.
