Wouldn't it make sense, to have the choice of a "silent" edit, that doesn't bring an old question back to the top.
The editing person could then help prevent cluttering the list of recent or active questions by deciding whether the edits justify reconsidering the question?
That would also allow bulk editing without causing irritations.
