I'd suggest to do so.

The background: A repository is responsible for "storing" objects. It 
provides methods to find the "contained" objects in the language of the 
domain "findTheLatestPosts()". The consumer (the object asking 
"find....()") has no clue about how the repository actually ensures, 
that the objects are still there. Although there are days between the 
"add...()" and "find....()". The persistence backend could be a database 
system, a text file or even a SOAP service. The repository has to 
translate the wish to find a specific subset of objects into a 
appropriate call to this backend.

This was discussed earlier in this mailing list: [TYPO3-mvc] Libraries 
in Extbase.
