It would be a collection of server-application packages. The main
different would be attention. These packages could have more than one
maintainers, so they could be updated more frequently, with more care.

The main point of this, is to get the latest, stable and secure
packages, which is needed for serving.
I'm using current pkgsrc even for production enviroment (because it
is de facto stable), but even with it, sometimes one or another
often used package, which is required for some reasons to upgrade, is
still not updated.

It could be hard to categorize objectively which packages should belong
to this group, which shouldn't. But I believe, this is possible to
differentiate with the feedback from the pkgsrc users.
