I'm sorry, maybe I'm just getting old, or have had way too long a week this past week, but I've got a rant to go on...
Let's put this another way then... I don't care if BMW drops the price of their cars to $500 if they ultimately don't work. The issue isn't the price, but that Mt. Lion Server (and Lion server) are useless to most of the people using the previous versions. I'd rather the price stayed at $999 and have a real server product that is actually useful to people who don't want to manage a raw Unix box.
I also doubt things will be 'fixed' in an update, as Lion server was never 'fixed.'

OS X server is a pain if you ask me, everything is hidden, the user gets charged money for what is essentially a bunch of GUIs over open source components, and when something breaks, you're left about clueless about what is going on (because I'm sure you wouldn't even know where to read messages logged with syslog(), or what a syslog facility even is...).
Or, we'd rather manage things through the nice GUIs and only have to go to the logs and command-line when there are problems.
