This was a goal in refining the functionality of Forem to more powerful and robust building blocks. Listing-like functionality can be achieved through posts/billboards/pages. We look forward to investing in those features to potentially host listing-like functionality, but for now it is a good thing for the codebase to remove.

Docs still may refer to listings, but we'll be looking to get docs more fully up-to-date soon.
