Some points:
* System installations (as you mentioned)
* Security (you can set up staging/live between authoring server
  in internal network and the public server)
* Handling of modifications (if you change an approved article it
  should still be shown in the original, approved format on the
  site)

That said, the staging/live system requires some work to set up,
and is not yet bulletproof on not letting unapproved content out.
However, Rambo is working on that.

They are just the host records needed for serving the site from both
databases.
