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