I agree, this is a problem when the site activity is low. For example I wrote a very long answer at Software Dev the other week, then re-visited it later and corrected some typos etc. Then someone else found a typo too and edited it again. This could easily be mistaken for purposely "bumping" the post.

I really don't see why edits need to bump a post in the first place. It's almost always nothing but disruptive. The most obvious example is the issue with status tags added to bug reports here on meta.

New answers should bump a post, but I don't quite see why edits need to do so.
