There already is code to recognize Intel Macs as a separate subarch which allows to use separate partitioning recipes that could include a EFI system partition, but currently that means the existing one would probably be lost. Not sure how EFI based servers (when booted as pure EFI) should be recognized. Also as a separate subarch? By special casing them? OTOH, I would expect most sysadmins of servers to do manual partitioning anyway.
