Sounds good to me Jakob =)

I think its just a matter of perception what considered as trivial.
For me it was changes that wont make any behavior change.

As for reviews site, I was not implying that it should be mandatory.
It helps when reviewing large changes. LIke Jakob said, JIRA case is
still needed and if he/she wants to use reviews site then it could
added to JIRA.

If "trivial" means size of changes, I am 100% support.
