You need to make a plan then, for smooth transition from server->base
profile. Preferably:

1) a news item explaining why this change is necessary, what useflags
do I need to add to make.conf to keep 'base' and 'server' profiles
compatible (so I don't have to recompile a bunch of packages just
because the default flags changed)
2) Make the server profile fatal when trying to emerge a package when
this profile is selected ( add a profile.bashrc file that simply dies
during pkg_setup)
3) Remove it after N * 30 days
