Yes, I agree with the proposal. I also agree that most servers will

connected to the Internet, however, I can think of some use cases where
Internet connection is not wanted and an intranet is sufficient, such as:
- a file server
- a print server
- a router
- a web server (for intranet)
Even if the server doesn't directly need Internet access the OS and
even those limited applications need to be updated periodically for
security fixes if nothing else - thus the encouragement (with easy to
follow instructions perhaps) to set up a mirror that can be used to
install whatever software you want to use.
So, my expectations would be that the package selection on DVD should
enable to set up any of those above scenarios via at least the most
standard way, so there should be at least:
- one database
- one http server
- one file serving program
- etc.
Ignoring the battle to make a decision, you end up making the wrong
choice for a significant number of users. Thus all or nothing is
really a better set of options.
