FC7 CMS Plugin

Looking through Farcry V7 RC and Chelsea Boots, I see 2 content types - 
dmEventListing and dmNewsListing in the FarCry cms plugin - these appear to 
be very simple types available in the site tree that allow adding news or 
events listing pages.

In the past I would place a news/event listing rule within a container on 
the required page and these content types have very similar properties to 
the news/event publishing rules.

What is the reason behind using these content types in preference to 
publishing rules.

If you have many different content types within your project, this new 
approach could lead to more options that editors have within the site tree 
maintenance when usually a very high percentage of site tree content pages 
will be html pages
e.g.
- old way, when adding content under a nav node there would usually be 
options to select html page, includes/webskins or links
- FarCry 7 cms plugin adds 3 more options ( and more if this approach is 
used for new project specific content types

The main benefit that I can see is that more of the site set up is within 
the webtop and not on the front end.
