As Anthropos said, I would also have no problem to disable this feature (minor changes) completely. I also never pay attention to that thing.
But, To some users the minor changes seem useful. I would say to keep this feature and improve it.
So, I agree with Carl Witty.
For the future, we can also do this: A lot of checkboxes (NOT option boxes) under the edit summary textbox which will include: X Spelling/Grammar Fix X Copyedit, same meaning
Copyediting is more than spelling/grammar fixing. It generally means editing for clarity, and for correct choice of words, not just for whether those words are spelled correctly. If we're going to have a checkbox for that, let's not label it incorrectly.
I interpreted "Copyedit, same meaning" as "I reworded the article without changing the meaning" (agreeing with your description of copyediting).
