Yes, it would be best if we could enable repositories using AptURL. There's no real reason for this to be disabled. Just design the interface in such a way that the user knows exactly what they're doing. We have complete control over what the user sees when adding the repository, which actually gives the potential for it to be a lot safer than other alternatives like blindly editing config files, or using an installer .exe in Windows.
