Fee estimation again... fee estimation is a terrible feature and only leads to users not learning how to manage fees properly, and about RBF.
And the main network "damage" is that spam miners risk that their blocks propagate slower, that's a feature, and bitcoin core devs always said this for the last decade until they became spam lovers.
And "inscriptions have stopped"... If inscriptions have stopped opening op_return is pointless, is it not, as there is no demand for data storage, and certainly not for one that's 4x as expensive. Btw what was the "economic demand" core devs fantasized about, but gave no evidence for?
Trying to 'fix the bug now'... would only result in harming users fee estimation.
There is zero chance today, now, of getting the 95% of the network onboard with 'inscriptions-censoring' or such a change in relay policy that op_if op_end (I don't remember the exact usage) doesn't get relayed.
The inscriptions people would just... spool up their own nodes with the 'current' relay policies... their nodes would relay to each other and the users with a different 'relay policy' would only be harming themselves.
"Fixing the bug" today would do a great deal of damage to the network, and it is highly unlikely to reach the 95% relay threshold (if that's even enough).
In addition it's obvious that 99% of the inscriptions have stopped, and those that haven't are <1 sat/vbyte so easily outbid.
This is a non or small-issue today imo focusing on it to the exclusion of the MoE debate is a huge distraction.
