I agree with this same sentiment, even if some would argue reposts are redundant or even a bug from some communities who aggregate news similarly, but when it comes down to it, I think reposts highlights a key attribute of 'what a we're all about' or 'what kind of products/stories describe us best', reposts serve as an interesting indicator of any community's (at least those communities who measure their users according to karma) core principles and values.
If anything, Top Reposts is certainly worth iterating as an additional list for top.searchyc, although scraping it could be tricky
