I have not edited many really contentious pages; but I'd have to say that
this doesn't match my take on the issue.

I don't assume that Recent Changes is the main way to see changes to pages
in which I have a particular interest.  I would myself use my watch list to
monitor those.  Minor edits do show up there, but there is the phenomenon,
for anyone really wanting to pull a fast one, of minor edits masking
earlier, larger changes.

Anyway, it probably is good practice to make all changes to a page 'major',
if there is substantial interest.
