FYI, Apple has in no way said OS X Server has been dropped. That is a
*huge* assumption of the direction they are going to take.
I have a feeling that, just like FCP X, they retooled OS X Server in
10.7, and we will see continued improvement - not discontinuation - of
it in the future. Sometimes it's two steps forward and one step back.

What saddens me is that Mac OS X Server was really starting to work
well (at least for me). I remember starting back with Server 10.0
when nothing worked (and I spent days and days finding out ;-) It's
somewhat like when they dropped the Newton way back when (it was just
starting to really work well).
But more specifically I am annoyed that all the information (and
links - the web of information) we have inside the Mac OS X Server
wiki is trapped - there seems no easy way to export to another wiki.
At least organisations should provide some way for customers to
preserve their investments when they leave a market.
Also, I am unsure about the fidelity of saving files on other server
filesystems. There used to be filename restrictions /
incompatibilities (AFAIK) with using non-HFS+ file systems (and file
serving protocols, e.g. NFS) on the server, and open-source HFS
implementations were always behind Apple.
Already, of course, my SLS doesn't provide versioning facilities for
files saved to the server.
Cheers, Ashley.
