there have been at least two hardforks[1] that created altcoins, both extending the block size. Both collapsed in value, the second one much more rapidly than the first, and neither of them even touched inflation. I suspect a fork adding inflation would get sold off in a similar way.
wikipedia lists four, although two of them were forked from the first fork, and only two are direct forks of Bitcoin. ↩

Right, that's why I don't think hardforking to tail inflation is feasible. Have you thought about how this hypothetical future might work in light of that as a non-starter?
