Well, the web server is turned off by default, and only root, or
people with appropriate su/sudo access, should be able to turn
it on.

Even if you enabled it, it's by default chroot'ed into /var/www.

I don't see any immediate problems with the files associated
with the web server lying unused on the hard drive...
