Ah now I understand. You've been speaking to the Global Services
(consulting side) people. I don't doubt that IBM would love to engage
with Gentoo for SERVICES (ie manage your server, or develop a protien
folding cluster and install it for you). However, you will not see IBM
preloading, or releasing kernel modules for gentoo-sources.

I'm not trying to be a roadblock here, infact I know many of the
people in the Open Source Community of Practice at IBM, so please let
me know where you would like this to go.
