>> Jiangli and I chatted about this today. We don't think there will be developers looking to specify -server or -client to a static image, instead this is more about the tests. So we think the best think is to look at the tests that still specify -server and see if it can be dropped. Some of the tests (say for C2) might be better off using `@requires vm.compiler2.enabled` or `@requires vm.flavor == "server"`.
