lts stands for long term support and is not really related to server usage.

LTS kernel was introduces with presettings better fitting to server usage. It was always meant to be only a fallback for desktops.

No idea if these settings have changed somehow meanwhile.

I don't think I changed that, imho the default scheduler and Hz were ever the difference to the normal stock config.

Seems this point has changed during the 3.0.x bump and noone has seen this for over 8 months.
