Why does Fedora do this with iptables?

I have F7, and believe that FC6 also did this.

I'd like to know why Fedora creates a user-defined chain - 
"RH-Firewall-1-INPUT". Is that better than putting the rules into INPUT?

I'm wondering if I'm customizing my iptables properly (putting new rules 
into the RH-Firewall-1-INPUT chain.
