Some would view SPI as a federation already -- that's implied by the claims that Debian has no legal existance apart from SPI, and possibly the relationship SPI has had with opensource.org for the entirety of the latter's existance. As it stands, I think the situation is pretty ambiguous, and I'm not sure that's actually harmful for the time being; but if the board want to go further into issues like patent lobbying, liability protection, or just supporting more projects, it's probably something that will need to be clarified during the terms of the board members we're going to elect.
