  1. Filing down a corner to give better clearance between parts
  2. Replacing a nut with a locknut
  3. replacing a faulty motor
  4. ziptie several wires together
  5. updating a timeout in the code
  6. adding an accelerometer sensor
T10, but technically, yes, that's true. I think certain things, from a practicality standpoint, can be ignored. IMHO, it only elicits a full reinspection after a visible physical change.
