I already see discussion on the bitcoin dev mailing list about how to deal
"with block rewards being too low to maintain acceptable security" in the distant future [1].

An emission like 1 per second forever is much more immutable due to guaranteed miner incentives and lack of arbitrariness. And thus a better basis for hard money [2].
