and on another note, inflation (or at least lack of deflation) will increase spending of that currency. In other words, it would help Dogecoins be used more, as opposed to hoarding like bitcoins.

The longer a coin runs, the harder it gets. And if I'm reading this bug report correctly, it's not that they're 'adding inflation', it's that they're declining to change an erroneous setting and maintaining the status quo. The more clients that come out, the more that setting will get locked in...
How are settings like this updated? Is it like the blockchain fork, where the settings are hardcoded into the client, so the longest chain uses whatever settings are in the client most popular with miners?
For example, if someone with a lot of resources wanted to adjust the inflation settings for bitcoin, how would they go about it?
