Then the 'right' way to implement this would be to add a dialplan 
function that allows the dialplan to query the conference for details 
about its life, including how long it has been in existence. The 
dialplan logic can then make the decision about whether to do the 
record/announce step or not. The logic can then include other factors 
(like maybe they want to always announce callers from outside the PBX, 
or something odd like that).

Remember, we want to implement mechanisms for people to use, but not the 
policies they apply to them :-)
