Do you mean made the technical case, to get their smoothening implementation into NU6? Or made the ideological case about why the smoothening is desirable at all; in NU6, or any other point in the future?
Based on the estimated issuance chart here, I’d advocate that smoothening is considered no earlier than ~November 2026. By that point, the existing halving issuance rate and the smoothening rate would be comparable near 4.5% and in the years that follow, the differences between how fast coins are issued would only have maximum divergences of about 1.5% at any given point (~4.5% halving compared to ~3% smoothening, for example near Oct-Nov 2028)
On the other hand, if the smoothening gets into NU6 it would have an immediate impact on ZEC issuance (annualized) in late 2024 through 2025 where the rate would be about 2-2.5% higher than what we all anticipate today if the halving is retained. (I’m estimating ~4.5% post halving issuance compared to ~6 - 7% issuance via the smoothening during late 2024 through most of 2025)
