This all sounds a lot like what Houdini (http://www.sidefx.com/) does with
its geometry. Basically you have a base mesh and every operation you do
(extrudes etc) are all modifiers that can be altered (via parameters) later.
I believe you can also permanently apply the modifiers.

This mechanism is a very powerful tool and I am 100% in favor of this.
