PS, like your username.  And, yes, they do -- of electric sheep.  At least the androids.

Thanks. Or maybe they are counting Satoshi's.  Cheesy

Still, delaying a non canonical transaction to a later block wouldn't be a problem for miners, or would it? The original transaction should be there to mine also, unless it is a transaction which actually uses the capabilities of the script format and has a good fee. But then it wouldn't be a problem to mine it.  And in the end it is in the interest of the miners when bitcoin functions well and is valued, because it increases the value of their reward.

Also the stick could be applied to keep miners that apparently prefer non canonical transactions for no valid reason and keep them from spending matured coins unless they mine them theirselves.
