Ok, the one that agree with the server tag to stay can step up and answer this questions:
Can you objectively determine whether the tag does or does not apply to a given question?
Can you say that a question is “about ”?
This is taken from the What is a meta tag? and should serve as guide to when you are dealing with a meta tag.
Can you objectively determine whether the tag does or does not apply to a given question?
Kinda. Any question asking for any kind of server or server-like behaviour should go with this tag.
Can you say that a question is “about ”?
Yes and not. I know what a server is "to server some resource" but after that I have no idea what else I could tell about it.
I think that we should stress the rule:
(...) tags that cannot stand alone as the only tag on a question, are not allowed.
A question using server as single tag is not good enough to tell me something about the question except a vague idea that OP is asking for some resource serving application. So, no, we should remove the server tag.
desktop-client, windows, linux, open-source, and others as well.
server tag that different. But I'm waiting for other opinions (except for yours and mine ;) Might well be you're right, and I'm just a bit "gridlocked" here. But might as well be you're afraid of non-existent ghosts. This should be decided by more than two people. So thanks for raising it here on Meta, which is the place for exactly that :)
For the sake of it:
This answer is PRO server
Unfortunately my reasoning would be almost identical as Braiam's Anti answer; just my conclusion basically is the opposite - inline with Izzy's thoughts. So vote away everyone.
