Are there any differences in these needs compared to the needs of using installation source? (Putting aside your personal opinion on inst source)
I think "installation source" and "repository" are equally difficult to understand. Only those with a Latin background are probably familiar with the word "repository" ("repositorium", ponere, posui, positum).
It is just a matter of getting used to one or the other.
Ok, but 'repository' is certainly the dominant term in GNU/Linux; people from other distributions (i.e. openSUSE) still call it a repository regardless of whether YaST calls it an Installation Source. I know this was already mentioned but the only problem in my mind is the inconsistency around all of openSUSE; even for 10.3 alone we're looking at 'Repository' for the Build Service, 'Installation Source' for YaST, and 'Service' for Zypper. To be honest repository or installation source would both probably be ok if there was consistency around, but we really don't have that.
