Cherokee server is a relatively new substitute for Apache and it seems to both provide improved performance (http://c6s.co.uk/webdev/209) while also streamlining the deployment of web applications with it's Market (http://cherokee-market.com/)
Example: Drupal can be simply installed and configured by a few clicks via the Market.
Due to the aforementioned attributes, I would like to start a discussion if it should or should not be added to the main repositories.
Cheers,
