    Linux kernel czar?

    I’m curious about this but I refuse to click the link because that just sounds so fucking stupid.

      That’s The Register’s style. Their a little weird with their copy, but their reporting has been solid, in my experience.

      We Brits use Czar as a colloquialism for “person in charge of…”.

      So the head of the water regulator might be referred to as the water Czar (and they deserve a similar fate).
