We are running out of space for specialized opcodes #130574
Description
The opcode space is laid out as follows:
- Normal instructions
- Gap (>30 instructions)
- RESUME (opcode 149)
- Specialized instructions
- Gap (3 instructions)
- Instrumented instruments
If we need to add four more specializations and/or instrumented instructions we will run out of space.
The fix is obvious: Renumber RESUME to something like 128.

pythongh-130574: renumber RESUME opcode from 149 to 128

This may be a stupid question, but we would still run out of space in like.. 25 more instructions right (why actually RESUME=128 and not something else?)? what happens at this point?
gh-130574: renumber RESUME opcode from 149 to 128 (GH-130685)

While my question remains unanswered, I believe that this issue can now be closed as we re-numbered the RESUME opcode.
