     The major mode is described first.
     For minor modes, see following pages.

    So users knew the minor mode info was there, and they saw the major mode
    info first.

If you've checked this, you're surely correct.  But I remember that the
minor mode info was not very visible, and not easy to use.  That was
the reason for the change.
