I think a redstone elevator should be added to Minecraft. It would be really handy when it comes to accessing deep underground mineshafts, and underground bases. Even if the elevator worked only on two levels. It would take less time than climbing a ladder, or stairs.
I have an idea of two different kinds:
Wood Elevator (slow and short depth)- wood + redstone + string/rope + control lever
Iron Elevator (fast and long depth)- iron + redstone + string/rope + control lever
Would help the player significantly when bringing up mined items.

Ignorance is just as awful as griefing. Insult me, and I'll make your day!
I don't like it. It just seems way to modern.
Plus, there has to be a way to get down to wherever it is that you need to get to, in order for you to build it, kind of making it pointless.
Plus again, it would only be able to move down, since if it moves down it can stop when it hits a block. But if you build it going up, then it will crush the player when it tries to stop when it hits a block. As shown:
= Elevator platform = Block = Player
The platform will try to continue moving until it reaches the block, crushing and suffocating the player.

So, no. I don't think it should be in vanilla.
