This is one of the reasons that our servers are running 10.1.5 and 
will for the foreseeable future. The $1000 per server upgrade price 
is another; it is ludicrous in today's market to expect to pay those 
sort of fees for a x.x upgrade. This is obviously still a work in 
progress that Apple expects their most loyal adopters to pay for. Any 
upgrade to Jag server will occur when we upgrade to Xserves, where 
the OS is included.  And that will also occur when they are most 
likely calling it something other than Jaguar ;-)

While I find the Jaguar client very stable and worthwhile...most of 
those benefits do not apply to servers, which are mostly running 
headless.
