I noticed that CMFEvents use the effectiveDate and expirationDate to make the 
beginning and end of an event, which is an entirely different semantics from 
the intended publishing ones, so putting a date filter in folders would end 
up mildly breaking that product. 

Perhaps effectiveDate and expirationDate policy is best implemented in 
workflows, assuming there's a good way to get the content to automatically 
move in and out of being published as the days tick over.
