How are you going to remove or modify that line in a _safe_ and simple fashion when you'll have to? Are you verifying if someone or something else has opened the /var/spool/cron/root file for editing while you're messing with it?
With a dedicated file (separate files for each task / purpose / application / whatever) in /etc/cron.d changes or an altogether removal are both trivial and safe.
