Should we have a grace period of X minutes on edits?
I normally spend quite a lot of time writing my posts. However, after posting them I read them again and normally find some subtleties that I want to change: some commas, a better title, these kind of things.

These are not relevant changes and I don't expect them to be part of the history of the post but, instead, belong to its initial revision.

For this, I wonder: wouldn't it be useful to have some grace period for the edits in a post, so those done within 5 (?) minutes after posting do not count in the revision history.

Also, it could also be interesting to implement a Wikipedia-style check to allow marking a specific change as "minor", so in the revision history  you can toggle between all changes and just "major".
