Just to summarize the last massive thread on this: 1 - they aren't maintained; they haven't changed for years 2 - the only difference between server profiles and the base profile is USE="+snmp" and maybe one other flag 3 - there isn't any general consensus on what makes a server, as such there isn't any consensus on how to make server profiles more useful. ... i think that's about it?
