But neither the Technical Specifications nor the Server Guides listing show 10.10, the most recent release.

Works for me. I can understand why they wouldn't advertise the non-LTS versions up front as server installations generally are designed to last a lot longer than your average desktop, and as a result require longer term support.  Lastly, I'd hope anyone looking specifically for a "server" version has experience beyond a desktop user and shouldn't have too much difficulty locating the non-LTS download ;)

Cheers,

James
