Probably.

- It's a cat flap in a house with broken windows.

- Also created as appeasement to create a less harmful way to spam.

- But there are now even better ways to spam

- Samourai didn't really need OP_RETURN to make it work and it doesn't help privacy.

So there is some weight to doing away with it.

It can’t be done without a hard-fork; and with it is SegWit whether abolished or fully integrated into the block header…
