I, for one, would miss it.  I know that probably 99% of xfs installations 
are using a font server on localhost, but I've actually had situations 
where it was very useful to have a network based font server:

1. X Terminals (a.k.a. thin clients) can get their fonts from the server's 
xfs process.  Makes updating the collection of fonts the X Terminals are 
using *much* easier.

2. Obscure fonts, such as those used by Mathematica, can be installed in 
one place and distrubted network wide.

But now this thread is wandering off the topic a bit ....
