+I can see two good ways to implement this.  Ideally, with [[conditional text based on ikiwiki features]] available, ikiwiki could parse a page like conditionalpages.mdwn, which could contain a set of conditional-wrapped page names; that seems like the most elegant and ikiwiki-like approach.  Alternatively, ikiwiki.setup could contain a Perl-generated exclude option by default; that would work, but it seems hackish.
