I would personally really like to see a server distro that installs 
virtual appliances instead of packages. With that I could have a server 
with a DHCP\httpd\mail server\webdav\IPA appliances running on the host 
completely separate using qemu or even lxc. Having a BL and UI around 
that would be very convenient for small setups and home servers. VDSM 
would be handy for storage, network and policy configuration as well as 
tracking the appliances stats.
