request from the forums. I think EiTB has this option already

EiTB includes a few minor leaders as playable leaders. ExtraModMod currently includes all minor leaders (except Infernal ones) as playable leaders. Neither of these mods makes any distinction between original leaders and minor ones and therefore their implementation would not help in implementing this as an option.
Since they are enabled by default in ExtraModMod, I got the opposite feature request (disabling minor leaders). Since I also plan to add support for extra leaders that are not major or minor and I want to allow enabling them conditionally (original only, original and minor, original, minor and extra), I was considering implementing a new XML tag for leaders which sets a category for them. This tag would allow to create options for which leaders to use in a simpler way.
If you are interested on this implementation for this feature, when I get around to do it I can code it for More Naval AI and upload it here as a patch instead of coding it for ExtraModMod directly.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
lfgr's fix for displaying Minor Leaders in the Sevopedia works by checking the <Leaders> tag in CivilizationsInfo.xml -- seems like that would be a simpler method of identifying 'minor' leaders in MNAI, though I guess that wouldn't help you much.
