Correct, calendarserver provides a _generic_ storage for events.

I favor generic event storage over custom "MRBS" storage, as event 
storage is easier accessible by more clients: You can provide *both* web 
views and integrate booking status directly into e.g. email clients.

You asked for experiences with MRBS. My experience is that MRBS works 
but is (to me!) not the best booking tool. YMMV.
