By eliminating dust bitcoin will stuck in the "big transactions" area and in the long run it can loose it's ability for being a widely used means of payment. In addition if its value grows high enough the amount what we today call dust could be your monthly phone bill in the future... or your monthly salary... Just remember the price of the first pizza what has been bought by using bitcoins .

Crappy options are crappy.
How about 'Do not relay dust' transaction. (i like the change). Its a start to allow the community to make what is and isnt acceptable adjustable network wide by user consensus.

I don't like them but allow them for a fee.
I can see them being useful for hash timestamping. Personally I think there are better ways - take the sha256 sum and post it in a thread on a public forum for all to see, but I don't have a problem with them being in the blockchain if someone is willing to pay the fee and a miner accepts it.

Check out this blockchain size graph and tell me that you can't see the reasoning behind eliminating sub-cent transactions. Seriously, it's less than the fees you would normally send with a transaction. I'm happy with this decision.
So the OP seems comfortable to see this growth rate accelerate faster, but rather than have real-world consumer and business transactions, it is filled with spam dust junk.

An option should be: not now, but someday, of course.
one day (in the near future), when the value of bitcoin rockets to the stratosphere, you'll regret eliminating every single satoshis you ever owned.
Other option: Destroy all dust with new fork.
Added!

There's a lot of hate against this, so let's see what you think....
