Why not seek social consensus then if it’s not urgent? Plenty of time to do that since 2021, but now it’s this two weeks to stop the spread energy which the majority of Bitcoiners dislike. BIP-110 has noble goals of stopping spam but unfortunately it failed in its execution.

50% of all blockspace in the last 3 years is already filled with non-monetary data. Operating a node has become much harder and more expensive. The purpose of Bitcoin has been diluted to the point its own users don’t know if it’s money or general purpose blockchain. Each moment we waste there’s a chance a toxic content gets uploaded forever but this time as supported and sanctioned use, not as a hack. The change is not rushed, you could say it comes late.
