I guess this almost guarantees a hardfork...

https://coingeek.com/statement-calvin-ayre-coingeek-bitcoin-protocol/

In keeping with these goals, here is a statement of consensus changes that CoinGeek, as a significant miner, will support in the November 2018 protocol upgrade:

  1. Continuing the program to re-enable the original set of op codes. Specifically for November, CoinGeek supports re-enabling: OP_MUL, OP_LSHIFT, OP_RSHIFT and OP_INVERT

  2. Removing the current limit of 201 op codes per script

  3. Raising the maximum block size to 128MB

We note that additional changes have been proposed by several implementation teams that are not part of the original Bitcoin protocol. We will not support the following changes or commit our hash power to running software that implements them:

  1. OP_DATASIGVERIFY

  2. Canonical transaction ordering (We are committed to investigating the removal of topological ordering as a potential barrier to scaling but this requires more detailed examination)

This would guarantee a hardfork unless all the other miners agree on not allowing transactions with OP_DATASIGVERIFY
