I'd like to see a concrete driver for that goal.  I mean, how would that
be different than installing the role infrastructure?

The overlap between Server and Cloud is an interesting topic but 
realistically - aren't we just talking about some different defaults 
(e.g. Cloud needs metadata services like 
cloud-init/min-metadata-service, which are a bit dangerous on bare 
metal), potentially different filesystem defaults, etc...

And I don't think anyone who would be turning Cloud into Server would 
want their metadata service to be disabled, and obviously we can't 
change their filesystem...

So ultimately what use case isn't covered by just changing the package 
set?

Now this one I definitely agree with.  Specifically that it should be 
-server-graphical and not merely installing the -workstation release.
