Dunno, I don't work for Red Hat. But that does seem a reasonable conclusion
to draw from the words provided. Perhaps they figure if one is doing a server
installation, one will want services enabled (otherwise, what's the point?),
and that one is also smart enough to keep the box secure. Sadly, that is
often a false assumption, and not one I agree with, but I could see where that
reasoning would come from.
Personally, I think the workstation install is far more important in this
case, as that is the install the "clueless newbies" will use. At least Red
Hat has moved from putting a loaded gun into the hands of a child to putting a
loaded gun into the hands of a theoretically competent adult. :-)
