A good rule of thumb when takling a problem is to attack the 20% that causes 80% of the effects. The biggest source of inflation is not curation, it's not author rewards nor is it any of the other buckets where new tokens are allocated to...it is HBD conversions.
Framing the proposal as a way to reduce inflation like the title suggests is totally misguided. The real annualized inflation rate from 3/25 to 9/15 is 13.96% which is about 75% higher than the 8% that we should have and it is all due to the HBD conversions.
If we want to reduce inflation we need to change the pegging mechanism and aligned it with the industry standard...mainly create HBD by collateralizing Hive instead of having a dinamic system where all of the stakeholders pay the price of maintaning the peg.
