I am certainly open to using "major" instead of "substantive", however I chose that word specifically because it is the first word in the LLVM RFC process document and likely has some existing interpretation within the broader LLVM community.  I have also seen/heard it used in a variety of contexts across the LLVM community including documentation, posts, discussions, etc.  In my opinion, maintaining consistency of word choice here connects us better with the broader community and using LLVM vernacular lets us borrow the established meaning of the word itself.  If we changed to "major", we may well have to define exactly what that means.
