I would have to agree and disagree as both of you have merit in your debate. Core roles of servers having access to data storage really depends. In most cases I see it often as a server admin function to handle, and in other cases I've seen entirely independent departments whom handle it.

I honestly feel it would be best to have it added into the Fedora Server itself so it's their and give the end client the ability to choose if they want to use it or not.
 
Thank you for your time.

That's not what I was saying, actually. Being able to connect to storage is
definitely a server function. I just disagree that it should happen at the level
of a Server Role. I think it's core functionality.
