1k sat, because your comment is perfect :)
Let me add yet:
  • simple solution (easy to understand for Average Joe)
  • no hardcoded value of tail emission (only the circumstances define it)
  • as long as income from transactions compensate cut-off of block subsidy - nothing is changed
  • the network may grow by tiny single ASIC miner every 4 years - and nothing is changed as well
Just the network security oriented and only a safety measure.
