Can you point us to those rules?  I have to admit ignorance in that I
wasn't aware there were specific rules about what constitutes a spin.

Agreed on having a consistent mini-spin.  It seems to me that a Spin SIG
would be the right group to standardize on that mini-spin package set.

But to hold up acceptance of this particular spin due to the fact that
there isn't a properly functioning Spin SIG seems unfair.
