Should Repeaters Support Conditional Logic?

Ryan has already announced that PageTable are to be favoured over repeaters and that repeaters won't support conditional logic. However I find that repeaters still have their place. In this example I have a slider that will support both image and video. In the slider there will be no content, it's purely visual.

This means I have no need for a title field, and I only have three fields an Option (Image, Video) and the Image Input field and the Video Input field. Each one is using conditional logic to display based on the Option field.

I know you can use a PageField with the template - Image and the template - Video and get the page name to be the date-time to bypass the need to enter it. However this doesn't seem as user friendly for the general user.

Maybe I'm missing something with PageFields, I just find in this case a repeater will be much more user-friendly. At the moment if you have conditional logic in a repeater, the field just doesn't save. This feels like a bug. Should there be a notice that makes it obvious that the conditional logic will not function inside a repeater?

What do you guys think? I look forward to hear your suggestions.
