The way I think about it, we should strive to have 500+ "applications"
available _for_ the Server (whether they are obscure Open Source
services, or custom company-only functionality developed internall)
...
Agreed we need to start small then gradually extend.

... but the Server shouldn't ship 500 "services" as an integrated part
of the product
I'm not sure what you mean by that I'm not talking about a 500 services
installed and available but rather a core/baseOS with one or more services.
(are there even that many services to provide?).
Yes and around 100 unmigrated ones
Regarding the "competing products", I'd go as far as to
say that the
Server should give the users a "good LDAP server" without exposing
which upstream project is internally providing the functionality -
even possibly switching the upstream projects on an upgrade if one of
them started to fall behind.
That will never work.
