A miner that has accepted a newly invalid transaction into its memory pool
and is trying to mine it, will keep producing invalid blocks forever until
the owner shuts it down and upgrades. This was happening for weeks after
P2SH triggered.
For instance, any miner that has modified/bypassed IsStandard() can do
this, or any miner that accepts direct transaction submission, or any miner
that runs an old node from before OP_NOPs were made non-standard.

Which they do, because they will eventually notice they are burning money.
Sorry Jorge, but I don't think your argument makes sense.
