Actually this isn't as stupid as it sounds. For home use, that's the only thing I can really think of wanting a lot of egress bandwidth. I run a PMS on my connection (400/25), and it's nice that I can let friends or family members watch a movie from it instead of needing to lending them the DVD (and keeping track who has which DVD, getting them back, etc.). My bandwidth means I'm limited to two streams (but then again, I don't buy many movies, I'm more a music person).
Symmetric 10Gb/s are still total overkill, symmetric 1Gb/s would already be pretty good for that usage.
But it's specialized: You need at least some knowledge for the setup and on how to get your BR and DVDs into the server - and then of course a collection of DVD & BR to start with. And, in the age of streaming, this means the person running the PMS is either pretty retro, a home theatre nerd or a pirate. And you probably don't want to taint the offering with "it's mostly useful for piratez" ;-)
