I think it means something to us, but "no op" is a very technical phrase
that probably doesn't travel very well. Not everybody Majored in Comp

Certainly this intention is much better than "minimal", but a more
widely acceptable phrase is probably better. I will avoid trying to come
up with something myself though.
