I have a proposal: Let's build the Fedora 27 Server edition using Modularity! [1]
I am in favor of this. When I asked for Fedora Server stories earlier, the vast majority of replies were from people using Fedora in a server context (including cloud and Atomic), but not Fedora Server _as such_. Therefore, I think we have some room to play with innovations which may be disruptive, because people who are currently seriously using Fedora in this way will still have options to avoid disruption.
I use Fedora Server on an Intel NUC, but I'm ready for disruption. In particular I'm curious how the upgrade process would work or if there'd need to be a "flag day" release that requires a clean install. Since the installer permits such open ended layouts, it sorta burdens any upgrade process into supporting them all, if even with an early test that proscribes the unsupported majority.
