How come? A minor mode usually modifies the behaviour or appearance of
Emacs. Think of menu-bar-mode, scroll-bar-mode, etc.
But the main reason I mention this is that a minor mode is
reversible. If someone were to download nano-modeline and try it out,
they would have to restart their Emacs session to reset it.
(I wrote an text that represents MY (not necessarily the views of this
list, or of the emacs developers) views on the topic here:
http://ruzkuku.com/texts/emacs-style.html. Maybe that might help you to
understand where I am coming from.)
