Charging 10x for zero-to-nonzero SSTORE is acceptable, as it reflects the cost of increasing state size. Nonzero-to-nonzero writes should remain cheap, since they don’t contribute to state bloat.

Ethereum contract devs: if we could 10x the gas limit but, to do so, we had to 10x the gas cost of CREATE, CREATE2 and SSTORE, would that still be a net improvement? Why or why not? IOW, if state growth is our main bottleneck to scale L1 gas, should we just fix it with pricing?
