Is there a plan to reintegrate them?
No reason to do it.
But majority can change consensus rules any time.

Yes, lost coins are lost coins. Nothing you can do about it. Bitcoin is divisible to 8 places so there is plenty for everyone. Why we wouldn't be talking in satoshis term one day, not in Bitcoin terms. 1 satoshi can be worth $1 and everybody would be happy. Smiley

Because of this above, I don't think there will be consensus rules about changing the final supply. I wouldn't like that the total supply changes.

Now what will future bring us, that nobody knows!
Not outside the capabilities, but the majority of users would never agree to do it, and in order to change the bitcoin protocals, the majority of users (miners actually) have to agree to do it. They would not agree to this.
