10 Having lxc/openvz/vserver technologies at hand it's not rare to split
11 LAMP server into a number of virtual servers (containers): mysql /
12 backend with php / frontend / smtp - everything sits in its own
13 container. And USE=apache will be used only in _one_ container. Also not
14 all servers are web servers. So IMO server profile should be just
15 minimal profile that hints users that this profile will stay minimal and
16 usable for all kinds of servers. That said I think server profile is
17 useless and for servers I maintain my own profiles.
