What you assume to be a 'minor' character may not be one. All of the characters that now seem 'major' were 'minor' at one point in the story. And characters that seemed undeniably 'major' at one point are now 'minor' or dead. ;)

Had you read my quote you would notice that Martin (as in George R. R. Martin) wrote the episode where he killed off Mago. If the discussion is about killing off characters and the impact it has on the future books I think the author of said books would be the best authority on that topic wouldn't you? If they start killing other characters off in the show then I understand your point. But up to this point they have not (that I know of) killed off anyone still alive in the books other than Mago.
I will not comment on the major vs minor debate since there are several major characters that are still major in the books.
