Wouldn't the logical "taker" be Canonical?  Unlike the desktop distro,
or even the existing server, this would be likely to have a fair
number of users willing to pay for support.

I wasn't suggesting this as a local project, just making an
observation from my perspective as a small-mid size business Windows
