Comment(by yeswework):

 Of course, it's advanced-level stuff, and you have to understand what you
 are doing. And of course, it's new functionality and it will evolve over
 time.

 All I'm saying is that, as developers working constantly on many different
 kinds of WP implementation, we're convinced that a very large proportion
 of uses of custom post types will want to make use of an automatically-
 populated, corresponding template (or part-template) for each type. To us
 this just seems like a no brainer: not least because the automatic
 distribution of relevant queries to template files, as already fully
 implemented with taxonomies, is one of WP's most helpful, nay
 indispensable, features. And as this very ticket (not submitted by me) and
 the blog post I quoted have already shown, the point about its absence for
 custom post types is already being raised online before release...

 In any case, I defer to you the developers. At the very least, please keep
 it in mind going forward!
