Do you have any other suggestions? Paying less fees would just be a hassle for me because I fear that my tx will get rejected and if it does I just waited time by following your advice. I don't think they will fully kill the cow maybe up to half only because some support what they believe is good for bitcoin(for me I don't support any sides). It's hard to influence/convince miners unless all bitcoin users are miners themselves.
What is Bitcoin without people using it?
That would mean no transaction volume going around but it's unlikely to happen.
