Yup, server profile is essentially base profile plus snmp, truetype, |
| 11 |
and xml. That really doesn't make sense. |

++ to just dropping it, and by all means if people see ways to make |
| 14 |
the base profile even more minimal please chime in, but it is already |
| 15 |
the most minimal profile out there. |

If somebody wants to come up with a server profile that actually makes |
| 18 |
sense by all means do so, but I think the current one is just baggage. |

If we wanted server profiles that made sense most likely it would be |
| 20 |
part of some more holistic program (with docs, etc) and broken down by |
| 21 |
server type (mail, web, LAMP, etc). That doesn't exist now, and I'm |
| 22 |
not planning to build it. :) |
