So; shall we try to come up with a new convention for enabling
minor-modes via file-local variables, and deprecate using mode: for that?
All "mode:" does is funcall FOO-mode [1], which is nothing that can't be
done with :eval, except the latter will prompt for confirmation. Rather
than adding eg "minor-mode:", maybe safe-local-eval-forms could be
extended with a regexp element matching something like "([a-z]+-mode)".
[1] Well, it also ignores unknown modes.
