No.
- Distributing about 75GB of raster data to different devices, keeping it 
current, etc., is a nightmare.
- Over half of the devices using the map data are mobile devices which neither 
have the necessary storage capacity, nor the flexibility to freely install 
stuff.
- Leaflet is all well and good but there are applications already in use. 
Developing a leaflet-based application to replace all currently used 
geospatial applications is not an option.
- Cloud is not an option because the primary purpose of the solution is to be 
public-infrastructure-independent and for emergency/off-grid use.

The requirement is a local WMS/WFS server and mapserver is the minimum and 
apparently the easiest solution for that.
