There's a new preference in CVS now to have edits

per someone's request on wikipedia-l. This may be helpful for
copyeditors. I haven't added it to the other Language* files (except for
German) yet.
Please take that out.
Marking edits minor by default is not the right behavior. We want to see
clueless newbie edits by default, and for those of us who hide minor edits
(the only way minor edits are used right now) that would make that not
possible.
What I've seen work is to make summaries mandatory for non-minor edits.
Otherwise we should not change the default settings.
