It seems like the more elegant solution could be by using a chainwork param=
eter instead.
i.e. comparison just before halving - if the last 210,000 block interval ha=
s a higher chainwork difference between the begining and the end of interval
than any other such inter-halving interval before.
LIttle digression yet:
A system in which all users participate in ensuring its security looks bett=
er than one in which only some (i.e. active) of them participate (and passi=
ve stakeholders are de facto free riders)
In my opinion this concept above is only the complement of currently missin=
g mechanism: achieving equilibrium regarding costs of security between two =
parties with opposing interests.
It's easy to understand and - most important - it has no hardcoded value of=
tail emission - what is the clear proof it is based on a free market.
And last but not least, if someone is 100% sure that income from transactio=
ns will takeover security support from block subsidy - accepting such propo=
sal is like putting the money where the mouth is: this safety measure will =
never be triggered, then (no risk of fork)

Necessary or not - it doesn't hurt to plan the robust model, just in case. =
The proposal is:
Let every 210,000 the code calculate the average difficulty of 100 last ret=
argets (100 fit well in 210,000 / 2016 =3D 104.166)
and compare with the maximum of all such values calculated before, every 21=
0,000 blocks:
if average_diff_of_last_100_retargets > maximum_of_all_previous_average_dif=
fs
do halving
else
do nothing
This way:
1. system cannot be played
2. only in case of destructive halving: system waits for the recovery of ne=
twork security
Best Regards
Jaroslaw
