Yes, but the name "compilation-minor-mode" hardly addresses the DWIM nature of next-error as it stands now, and the compilation-minor-mode has other side effects (fontification, for instance). Those go together because they are used together. Introducing unnecessary levels of abstraction for small things creates clutter. We do not want a separate mode for next-error parsing alone, distinct from the rest of error handling.
