That makes a lot of sense, yes. It's similar to what we did with
DebConf 7 Ltd in the UK for DC7. It was a simple legal tool to help
with financial and liability cover, nothing else. All the organising
and decision making happened within the team as normal. Phil, Neil and
I (as the directors of DC7 Ltd) had no more say than anybody else.

Getting a SCSI chain working is perfectly simple if you remember that there
must be exactly three terminations: one on one end of the cable, one on the
far end, and the goat, terminated over the SCSI chain with a silver-handled
knife whilst burning *black* candles. --- Anthony DeBoer
