On the other hand, when this prefix is used, it indicates a more subtle change to the block structure or generation transaction; examples of this would be BIP 34 (because it modifies coinbase construction) and 141 (since it modifies the txid hashing and adds a commitment to the generation transaction).
A client that does not understand a rule prefixed by '!' must not attempt to process the template, and must not attempt to use it for mining even unmodified.
Servers should only signal this mutation when they have verified a client behaving this way will not produce invalid blocks.
This includes verifying the client's supported rules (listed in the template request) are not lacking of a rule that would change serialisation.
