Miners have not included 'replace by fee' rules in four years, despite the short term financial incentive of doing so.
There's no reason to believe any significant portion of miners will adopt the patch in the future either, because mining pools have a long term interest in the success of Bitcoin as a whole, and adding replacement for fee would jeopardize it.
