Re: Linux needs new leadership.

I nominated Edsger Wybe Dijkstra and feel this is the
best choice for a number of reasons:

        * He's good at concurrency.

        * Would bring a high academic profile to Linux.

        * Good programming practices would be enforced.
          We'd take a year off to remove all of our
          goto's and rewrite the kernel in Pascal.

        * Enforcement of non-anthropomorphic discussion
          of computers and programs.

        * No one can pronounce his name properly, thus
          preventing the complacency that would come
          with a leader named "Smyth" or "Jones".
