Server guys have a net connection 99/100 times, while desktops don't
necessarily.  Being primarily a "server guy," I'd hate to see server
bits being removed, but for all intents and purposes, I can't think of
a single instance where an HTTP/FTP proxy, NAT, or net connection
isn't available for me while installing a server.  And even then, in a
server environment, I don't generally want to run stale ports/ in a
multi-user environment in the event of a security update since the
last release was cut.  That said, I generally fall back to updating
ports. with CVSup before installing anyway, which makes having the
packages available pretty worthless to me with my "server guy" hat on.

Desktops, on the other hand, are often connected with a
modem/DSL/cable, so keeping disk1 desktop focused would certainly help
increase the usability and thus the number of seats that FreeBSD
occupies.  If a server guy wants a faster installing server disk, they
need to be pointed in the PXE direction anyway.
