Nod. Those were mentioned by me as sources or seeds for such a dynamic
repository rather than as an end state.

WHY is key in my book. Else it's just being clever for cleverness's sake. As in
the software Design Patterns you reference, which include applicability notes.
(when being decorative and fanciful there is nothing wrong with being clever for
cleverness's sake mind you...)
When Suz gave her Constructopedia talk at a previous BrickFest, this was what I
thought she was getting at, before hearing her talk... (she's actually thinking
of something related but also neat, which I would leave to her to discuss)
