I guess you are right = that it doesn't technically require a hard fork, but I see this proposa= l as more likely being merged with other hard fork or soft fork features.

You don't seem to provide any data as pa= rt of your rationale, so I'll provide some context. As it stands, the c= hain size sits around 386 GB, with OP_RETURN data accounting for 2.5 GB of = that.

Some of those OP_RETURN outputs have no= n-zero value. As such, those outputs are provably unspendable, and they are= essentially paying the rest of the coin holders via supply deflation.
