This, however, I think *would* be in line with the board's position -
it's effectively a better integrated version of the status quo.

I would however suggest that you use more generic url's similar to apt url's

yum://rpmrepos.org

So that command line users (via a plugin maybe) or other frontends can access the same functionality without being led into thinking this interface is specific to GNOME software
