Far future locks are problematic. In my proposal I've only considered
locked coins for only 6 months because of exactly these reasons. The
market competition between airdrops should still exist after 6 months so
lockers will still get a chance to sell their airdrops. And any
ECC-alternative or hash-function-alternative fork will probably take a
couple of months to be designed, implemented and deployed as well,
giving a chance for lockers to move coins.

I'm becoming more and more convinced that coin age is also a valid
method of proving a sacrifice. Using coin age also has a benefit that
less block space is used, because using timelocks requires a new
on-chain transaction to be made every 6 months or whatever the locking
period is.
Perhaps JoinMarket should accept all three methods of proving a
sacrifice: burning, timelocking and aging. I could imagine that makers
would first lock coins for 6 months to create a fidelity bond they could
immediately use, and after the timelock expires leave that coin unspent
and use its age as the fidelity bond.
For what its worth, I mostly considered burning coins because the maths
for it is easy (the value of such a bond is just V^2), and because it
provides a boundary condition (locking up coins for infinity time is the
same as burning them). I doubt anybody will actually do it in practice.

This scheme could be attacked using address reuse. An attacker could
create an aged coin on a heavily-reused address, which would force an
SPV client using this scheme to download all the blocks which contain
this reused address which could result in many gigabytes of extra
download requirement.
So to fix this: a condition for aged coins is that their address has not
been reused, if the coin is on a reused address then the value of the
fidelity bond becomes zero.
