Carl Witty proposes a feature enhancement:

If people don't like removing the "minor edit" box for anonymous
users,
how about this?
- Put the "minor edit" box back
- Have 3 states for "Recent Changes": show all edits, hide minor changes, hide minor changes from logged-in users
This should satisfy everybody at (I assume) a fairly small cost in software effort.
(I actually like not having the "minor edit" box as an anonymous user;
it helps me remember to log in!)
Let's hear some "me too" and/or "no way" posts on this one!

Me too!
Or more informatively .... I think this would work really well and seems a very clever solution to the differing views.

There are already multiple views on recent changes. There is now two that are called "RecentChanges": all, and only non-minor changes. But the watchlist feature actually is a third one: recent changes to pages I am especially interested in. Ideally I would say there might be a fourth one: recent changes by "untrusted people". To be able to implement this, it would be necessary to be able to mark people as trusted friends such that modifications by these people can be suppressed from the recent changes list.

All right: Me too. (AND there's too much quoted text in this posting. But at least it's clear what I'm agreeing with.)
It's one more little set of compilcations and bells and whistles and config options, but I vote to overlook that.
