I'm not enthusiastic about that approach.  My plan right now as Review 
Manager is to sit down and re-read all the review messages (probably this 
week-end), and then either:

   *  Reject it as just not important enough.
   *  Accept it as a regular library.
   *  Recommend we start a new Patterns and Idioms section,
      with Base from Member as the first entrant.

Conditional inclusion would just defer the problem.  It would be asking the 
developer to finalize and maintain a library for a period of time without 
knowing its final disposition.
