Xserve is Done as of January 31st, 2011, But You do Have Options

"As Liam argued yesterday, Apple is aiming for the consumer market these days, which is why it should come as no surprise that it would discontinue its Xserve enterprise server. The rack-mountable Xserve will no longer be available for purchase as of Jan. 31, and Apple has no plans to produce a new model in the future."

But Apple is still keeping some options open, such as with the addition of this Mac Pro with server configuration. Granted, it would be a little hard to rack mount a Mac Pro, but you could modify a rack to fit a Mac Mini (which Apple is also suggesting as an alternative for the Xserve). It appears Apple is going to focus on consumer market rather than enterprise, what are your thoughts? Good move, bad move?
