Its the opposite problem. How will miners running knots be able to continue if a block that is not bip110 compliant is mined?

The BIP110 compliant miners would continue mining on the last valid block. And again, if non-compliant blocks stack up to seven, there's no mathematical way that there's enough hash power to re-org that amount of blocks. But if you're a giant corporate miner, are you really going to trust that your competition isn't going to flip the version bit and basically make you mine on a dead chain? We're talking about going from mining 30 to 40 percent of the blocks down to zero. I don't know if anybody's taking that risk.

So are you saying in the knots client, it accounts for this failure state and the miners won't have to switch to the core node?
