But it's not the same edit!  When someone restores a page they are
simply replacing it's content with what it had at some point in the
past.  Any number of changes could have happened since then.  Would
you really want restoring a minor edit that was done 2 weeks ago to
still be considered minor today when it could possibly induce major
changes in page from the previous edit?
