Extremely enthusiastic server is a bit long though.

What makes it adaptive? If it's only user initiated, that's
customization. Adaptation indicates the server dynamically alters its
behavior on its own.
Well, the infrastructure adapts to the needs of the users. Not the installed
system. In the classic Fedora Server, you get exactly the set of stuff available
in the common repository and if you want something else, you need to figure out
a workaround. With the modularity implementation, it becomes possible (and
supportable) to pull in the set of stuff you need to support your application.
Also, I was looking for a term that would carry some positive "marketing"
connotations, beyond the simple descriptive nature of "Modular Server".
Basically, something that catches the eye enough that someone keeps reading to
find out what it means.
