I use it exclusively for servers.  Not that many, but it's been more in
the past.

I guess the argument is that debian ppl, will happily use apt-get on
servers, I guess Mandrake ppl will use urpmi, and RH based solutions
up2date/(rhn|current) is a valid solution.

I guess scheduling and limiting what gets upgraded is just policy, and
other tools exist for ensuring that the servers have the right policy
(cfengine,arusha,lcfg and Hunter's gromit).
