This really gets into the question of how much Minnowboard will become a
production use-case. If people are going to create data centers out of
Minnowboards stock - sure, it makes sense.

I?d rather see makers take Minnowboard and create datacenter-friendly
versions that can be sold at a profit for the maker, still be a big win for
the user, and let Minnowboard lures focus on sparking that innovation.

You could probably juice more than two NIC ports using USB and other I/O
than just PCIe. Also I?m not sure what the true bandwidth rating of the
PCIe port is on the Minnowboard, if it exceeds 1x or delivers 2x. Bay Trail
as a SoC supports up to PCIe 2.0 4x.
