It is shaping up to look like a significant disruption *unless* miners comply with BIP110. If they ignore BIP110, or if there is a popular URSF, they may lose 8% or more of their users. Right now the best way to get 0 disruption looks like for miners to, perhaps begrudgingly, start enforcing BIP110 just to keep the network united.

For sure, if no URSF ever materializes, miners could very well just collectively choose to start enforcing BIP110. Even better would be if Core just endosed BIP110 outright; or, possibly even came up with their own acceptable alternative. None of the above are my basecase, however. I'm not exactly sure what % (or possibly other metric) would be considered a credible threat in the minds of the anti-BIP110 crowd; but, I would fully expect a URSF if/when that line is eventually crossed - which I suppose might not even happen until well after a potential chain-split. The path to the least disruption may very well be to play chicken with the BIP110 8%
