I have never wrote anythig against this philosophy.

All small chages can make sense from semantical point of view.
Misussing names/options for different use-case just create a big mess
and confuse other people.

client only build and --disable-server is the same thing
(at least from "make install" POV)
I have never required changes to spec file.

If you will not install ipatests (if there is a way to not
install ipatest) then it will enable future changes to solve the ticket.

Because solving ticket6517 would be just writing right spec file.

ATM it does not enable future changes to solve the ticket.

>* Does it break any code or feature that is currently present? [1]

Yes, it install server related options even though they should not be installed

Summary: You should realize that the name of PR is
"Client-only builds with --disable-server" and your use-case is not pure
client only build.
