So after discussing this on another channel, the idea would be that an editor can tick the "minor edit" checkbox that would automatically transform the change to be merged as a minor edit. Whenever another edition is performed, the checkbox would be ticked automatically by default, and the author would be able to untick it to create a major change again. The UI of CR should display clearly if a CR change will be merged as major or minor.
