It isn't sufficient because not everybody uses gnome-app-install. This repository contains two commonly used applications (realplayer and opera), and you are basically just saying: either use gnome-app-install to install them or use the command line to play with the repositories.
This kind of "package management elitism" is a bad idea, in my opinion. The repository is being offered by Canonical, it contains popular applications, and it should therefore be included in the default repository management application.
