I am not sure if the SPI would approve Gentoo's membership into the SPI. Given |
| 17 |
its past and present situation with the IRS. Likely some work to be done. It |
| 18 |
is not like the house is in order. |

Another aspect people keep forgetting. SPI is not a guarantee, Gentoo has to |
| 21 |
be accepted. If it is not, then this is all for not. That would be the first |
| 22 |
step. |

Can Gentoo become a member of the SPI? Would the SPI approve? |
