For those involved in the Aeon debate about enabling actual inflation, smooth has proposed the easiest and most socially acceptable solution would be just to leave in the first year's inflation rate (~0.85%) after the initial issue.  
  
This ensures we grow at a different pace than Monero (for better or worse), gives us unique identity, and solves the issue of having actual inflation without any possible fears of it being too high of a number.  Also, since this amount of inflation was already in the cards to begin with (after forking from Monero) this doesn't really alter the social contract.
  
On a long enough time span, this would result in significantly more Aeon being created each year vs. Monero, but the total values will stay relatively comparative for many years before this happens.  
  
As far as the idea for smart inflation, it sounds like a great idea (as did digital cash initially in the 80's and 90's) but sounds like it might need some new brilliant combination of mathematics plus some vetting on an experimental blockchain before it could be considered to be incorporated into one of the major cryptonotes.
