I would rather remove it and then give a description of the popular 3 in the documentation. I suggested in IRC, that the server install does a very stripped down install by default (akin to JEOS) and then give the option to add a set of "useful administrative tools". After I think about it though, all my servers are in virtual machines anyway, so I'll just use Ubuntu JEOS.
