Yes, have never known a DSM routine update to do this to Minimserver but it happened to me today.

It seems that Synology doesn't like MinimServer these days. The problems started when DSM 6.0 beta was released. Since then, I have submitted numerous versions to Synology for testing and inclusion in the Package Center but every time (after a long delay) they find some minor issue and reject it. It now appears that Synology has put MinimServer on a "black list" for removal even though the user has installed it manually.

Edit: Synology has replied to my query about this, saying that MinimServer is not removed by the DSM 6.0.1 update but is only disabled by the update. This matches what I have found in my own testing.
