So they want to change op_return so that the UTXO set won't be as effected as much by malformed data.

So the proposed idea is not a solution to fixing the ability to spam UTXOs issue, just makes spammer's job easier so that they maybe won't mess around in the UTXO data. Analogy: It seems this points spammers toward a larger easier front door, but the back door is still open?

Said another way. Trying to keep people from making a mess in UTXO by making it easier to spam in other ways, but in no way does this limit the ABILITY to spam UTXO data.

Am I understanding this correctly or am I missing something?
