17 I've always taken the message about the server profiles not being
18 properly tested as a warning that anyone wanting to run a "secure"
19 server profile should use one of the hardened profiles.
20 If so, I'd leave that warning alone until we get enough people working
21 on the server profiles so we can make any promises about it.

31 Although one can install a server without apache or ldap, I'd say the
32 server profile seems the natural choice to have them enabled.
33 If we had the statistics for it, we could check how many people have
34 apache installed with that profile vs not having it. As there's nothing
35 preventing one from having USE="-apache2 -ldap" when required and I
36 don't use the server profiles, I don't really have a strong opinion
37 about this.
