Well... as many as there are different and incompatible needs?

For example, Jeff Godin asked in the #evergreen channel today whether
there was a publicly available server offering the Template Toolkit OPAC
interface because he was interested in doing a performance comparison
between the JSPAC and the TPAC. The TPAC does not run on Evergreen 2.1,
so a "bleeding-edge" server that could be used for testing and early
documentation of features in development could be a useful contribution
to the community. Having it scripted so that it reinstalled itself with
a fresh checkout of OpenSRF and Evergreen and loaded a base set of data
would also serve as a nice early warning system.

Right now I think there's room for the following supported releases:

  * 1.6.1.x
  * 2.0.x

And the forthcoming next stable release:

  * 2.1.*

As well as the bleeding edge:

  * master

I can't guarantee that the servers would get tons of use; I concur with
Robert that many of us are running our own development environments -
but I do see a use case.
