Just saw this news item:

https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/01/29/farewell_to_macos_server/

I didn't really know there _was_ a MacOS Server, and so I can't blame Apple too 
much for deciding the effort to maintain it isn't worth the expense... their 
hardware is too expensive to be a rational choice for people wishing to set up a 
server in most cases.

If, however, one has quite a few Macs on the desktop, one would like the server 
for them to be as secure as they are, and to be operable by people whose training 
is with the Macintosh, so this decision could well cost them with the corporate 
desktop.
