I think we should avoid this kind of FUD, there's clear indication on the Core side that this is not a viable option.
This is Sipa's position for example:

The right place to try this is in another currency, where it can compete fairly. Bitcoin started as an experiment for a novel type of money. It was designed with a very clearly stated and opinionated choice of a finite monetary supply.
