The value of having tickets directly (which are fossil artifacts) be able to reference/link-to other artifacts (checkins, events, other tickets) is something that maybe needs to be tried to be fully appreciated. When repos are clones, all that info travels w/ the repository, so there's never a broken record of what's happened. The webserver is also really handy for interfacing the repo. It serves it's purpose well, and I personally wouldn't wish it away. Whether it's something as simple as an ad-hoc "fossil ui" to run the server and load a view into firefox for a quick glimpse at the timeline, or running it fulltime so a dev. team can get a better clue of their branching/merging, it's a nice feature.
