Gi= ven=20 its past and present situation with the IRS. Likely some work to be done. I= t=20 is not like the house is in order. Another aspect people keep forgetting. SPI is not a guarantee, Gentoo has t= o=20 be accepted. If it is not, then this is all for not. That would be the firs= t=20 step. Can Gentoo become a member of the SPI? Would the SPI approve? =2D-=20 William L.
