I have two diverging viewpoints. Being in higher education, we've got a lot of Apple gear. We have a server room with a rack full of XServes. I've seen real technology needs languish in OS X Server - to the point where we've already considered other options.
On the other hand, Apple has made it pretty clear in their docs that they like the success they've realized with Mac Minis running OS X Server. That combo is selling. So, they're unlikely to shut down shop on that. Mix that with, "we've only got two engineers working on Server." I don't know if Server (or any Mac OS at this point) is in it for the LONG haul. Things are changing. However, Server is selling a product Apple is happy with.
