Sounds like a plan. Maybe comment on the issue?
The Nazis over at bitcoin core locked the issue
This is why we need decentralized git via nostr or something including decentralized issues.

Now the Nazis deleted your comment. What are they afraid of? You should never be afraid of just words.

So, would this keep the reward at 3.25 until we reach 21 million and then just stop? That would be horrible.
What would be even worse is if we got to 20.9999 million and someone decided that we needed to lift the cap so that the inflation could continue. That negates the entire reason for the entire system.
Just because the inflation rate is lower than gold doesn't mean it is at a "good" level. Inflation of circulating currency should be zero. And it effectively is zero because we know the eventual cap of 21M will be reached. By that point, actually LONG before that point, transaction fees will far exceed the block reward and it will be seen as just a bonus that keeps the original programming in place.
