It's worth mentioning that i made this topic during a period where the insider program for Windows Server was totally, and literally, abandoned.. where it wasn't unusual to see no builds for months at a time, or 6+ months. This is no longer currently the situation, as late 2023 has seen regular updates (weekly or bi-weekly, as Elden_Christensen has indicates is how its supposed to be. Therefore, my hard criticism from the OP is no longer actual, however, given that Microsoft is a big, bureaucratic company where a lot of processes happen all the time, we have no guarantee that the insider program for Windows Server doesn't get fully abandoned again in the future. I reiterate it's not currently so, but i hope it doesn't happen. If it happens, we can bring this topic back to life and try to get a MS engineer's attention. I'd say let it rest until we face that day.
Like i said, late 2023 is when the program came back to life. I'd like to think that this topic helped to get someone to notice that it had to return to being actively maintained by an active, caring team. And that so, it happened.
