Bumping, at least for discussion? |

I think it makes sense for the default behavior! I do not fully understand the consequences if someone provides a value, though, and therefore how "much breaking" this is. |

This makes sense to me and seems like a sensible change to the default.

IMHO the change is ok, even though it's technically breaking. I doubt somebody is explicitly relying (or wanting) the preivious behavior.
In general, avoiding axis with a single labeled tick seems to be a good idea. Previously, a log axis spanning from 4 to 60 would have its minor ticks unlabeled, LogFormatter making that choice based on the fact that the axis spans more than one decade (60/4>10). Instead, change the interpretation of the first item in `minor_thresholds` to label the minor ticks (by default) if there is only one (or zero) major tick drawn (as is the case for the above axis limits).

However, note that this doesn't break any test and I suspect that this case may have been missed previously (I added a test for it).
