Good joke :-) 

But the idea doesn't introduce fractional sats. It's very delicate change than any node runner can do.

Neither does anything else, thats the joke... but it does move the needle on _people who are the subject of scaling virtue signals_ by reducing overall fee requirements. 

I'm not in-depthly familiar at the implementation level to know if the fractional sats would work or not, I just think not, not a consensus thing but rather because I think a PR would be a little more complicated than changing the denominator.

Is it time to relay even transactions with fee rate lower than 1 sat/vB?

This doesn't help with scaling. But it could bring more granularity to fee market and keep it public.

I don't see the problem with the fraction. You still send whole amounts of sats. Fee rate is only a tool to compare the absolute fees.
So in the example above, you could relay simple transaction (141 vB) for 2 sat →  0,014 sat/vB
