I am not completely against your proposal although 100% sure this will not =
have "consensus" to be implemented. I think if bitcoin doesn't have enough =
demand for block space, it should die. I will be sad if bitcoin doesn't exi=
st but it should be a lesson for all the people opposing soft forks based o=
n drama and politics instead of technical review.

I don't see anything wrong with users paying 100x fees for opening and clos=
ing LN channels.
