Just for the more-public-record, I remain pretty sure this is a bad idea
and don't think we should allow it. You should always be considered to
be running exactly 0 or 1 Products. I think we should consider how to
allow things like 'run a desktop on the Server product', but that
shouldn't be conceived as 'run Workstation on Server'.
