why include any server software in RHL at all?
Because there are approximately 80 billion *desktop* x86 boxes floating around, and there is a significant number of people who want to run them as servers for one purpose or another.
The desktop AMD64 chip (the Athlon 64) hasn't been released yet. Red Hat will (of course) speak for themselves if they're so inclined, but if I were in their shoes, I'd wait until the Athlon 64 was officially released before I dedicated developer effort towards a native AMD64 version of Cambridge and/or Cambridge++.

In academia opterons are being looked at for computational systems NOT servers.
If you want to build inexpensive AMD64 systems, wait until the Athlon 64 is launched. Opterons are all about building servers.
