  If it's going to be kept around, then please get rid of the warning in 
ebuilds.  I'm one of the few people who checks /var/log/portage/elog
regularly.  The server profile is useless because it pollutes
/var/log/portage/elog with a warning that this profile is unmaintained...
***ONCE FOR EVERY LAST SINGLE PACKAGE YOU BUILD***.  If you want a light
profile, I suggest doing what I do... start your USE variable in
make.conf with "-*", and add any flags you need, either in package.use or
in make.conf.
