I just wrote this module to make it easier to make a listing page of specific content types filtered by taxonomy terms. It's a bit simpler than the taxonomy browser and allows the admin better control over what users can and can't do.
It also supports nice urls, where the url to access the public side of the module is http://yoursite.com/newsroom/1 where 1 is the taxonomy term you'd like to show.
This allows an admin to:
1) select the content types that are displayed
2) set the number of items per page
3) set the no results message
4) set a default taxonomy term to use if none are passed
This is 4.7 only.

How would that differ from
How would that differ from the Views module?
You're right that it does
You're right that it does functionality which the views module does cover. I'm a bit unclear on how to deploy view functionality consistently- it seems to me that there needs to be able to be a way to create a "view" and make it portable. So in a sense, it's a quick short cut to some of the functionality that the view module is capable of.
