Your suggestion to unbreak testnet4 makes sense. The need to mine a
non-standard consensus-valid transaction is satisfied as long as there
is a single miner who is willing to accept and mine it. Ideally such
transactions could be submitted on a public interface with some kind
of DoS protection.

Best, void867
