An excellent idea. If my vote counts for anything, I say yes.
Under the Needs Work comment authors or reviews could then note
specific items that need to be done such as "Needs BFC" or "Underside
needs more detail" or "needs more primitives in painted area".
This proposal could move a lot of 85% parts that are very useable into
official status so people can easily use them.
As long as a part is rotating on the best point and is shaped properly
with all obvious features, planes and lines it should be adequate.
