Two things I'm always wondering about when this topic comes up:
- is there really a need for USE=client? In most cases people request
to exclude the server part, can't remember ever seeing a request to
exclude the client.
- assuming we ignore the USE=client thing, how many things actually
depend on the server part of say mysql or openldap?

In the beginning, there was nothing. And God said, 'Let there be
Light.' And there was still nothing, but you could see a bit better.
