Think about what we're defining here: a 'database server' role.

The point of having a single database server is that you don't run a
database on every system where you have something installed that needs a
database.

The reason Fedora webapp packages don't deploy or expect a database
running on the same machine is that, frequently, people don't want that.
They want to use a database running on another machine.
