I think it'd be a good feature to have, though I don't think it'd solve many of the problems this thread is talking about. There really isn't any point in having an orphaned article. If you can't find *somewhere* to create a link from (at least a list or something), then why have an article in the first place? Making contributors more motivated - that's *usually* a good thing, right?
One caveat, though. This would probably be best implemented only in the article namespace. Orphaned user pages, for instance, make a lot more sense.

Due to the way history works it would be quite hard to create a truely orphaned user page.
