I think this is a good idea and formula.

I would think that *technically* it is still possible to do it as a
softfork by not changing the nBits target, but instead using the new EDA
as an extra "penalty" above the nBits target?
This would get pretty messy though. I think we can leave the
hardforkobofia to the other chain.
