You are fighting a windmill Matt. "Wont stop spam" is a strawman/nirvana double fallacy. BIP110 's purpose has never been to stop spam. It RATE LIMITS spam as a bonus good to have second order effect. But its real purpose is that by activating it Bitcoin will assert in the clearest strongest way possible (which is set it in consensus) that it's only valid usecase is to be MONEY and not arbitrary data storage. This has been repeated ad nauseum. Don't you agree with the premise?

Thats not true though is it... every soft fork until now signalled clear majority concensus. 70%+ nodes run Core, so to propose a softfork like this is ridiculous and is by definition a contentious fork...

If BIP110's purpose is to curb spam, spammers will find a way around it. Then you'll be stuck in a viscious circle of having an authority tell you what is spam or what isn't, and have a central repository (Luke's) for updating and maintaing filters. That's how adblockers work, for example.
Didn't you read what I just said? You are also stuck in the nirvana/strawman double fallacy. Honest question. Have you even read the BIP documentation?
