This can be done using a "Collection"-behavior so not all fields on the
page type.

This proposal will simplify the ui a lot by getting rid of the display

The reason for this proposal is that we take it one step at a time. Going
with tiles in Plone 5 is a step to far in my opinion. This solution is a
nice in between step for going to the "one contenttype to rule them all"
paradigm. We've all seen what happens when you take too many steps at once.
