I like the idea of configuring what it is that a feed contains. The current
feed only reports the most recent change for any page. I think this makes
sense when you don't have a minor-edits feature, but once we have this feature,
we might want the feed to report all major edits. My site needs to do this,
though a regular site might not.
You also make a great point about helping the user to understand what that
checkbox means. But if we label the checkbox "Publish via RSS", then suddenly
we lose the classification system you subsequently recommend. It makes sense
to say you're configuring the feed to include or exclude minor edits, but it
doesn't quite make sense to say you're configuring the feed to include or
exclude edits published to the feed.
In any case, two great take-aways: make sure the user knows what that checkbox
means (perhaps via a tooltip), and possibly provide a way to configure what
shows up in the feed.
