While I can understand and respect wanting to address the “bus factor”, I wanted to address this for a moment:
..the job of top penguin..
Do the *NIX Nerds really think they’re going to ever be respected as a Year-Of-The-Desktop OS, with a CEO named as Top Penguin?
This is like waking up in 1995 and learning that Bill Gates legally changed his name to Microsoft Bob. With predictable effect.

1. He's not a CEO.
2. Top penguin is a jokey title used in this article and nowhere else.
3. Even if it wasn't, people don't choose their OS based on the title of the person running the organisation.
4. Even in your Gates scenario, the "predictable effect" would be absolutely nothing.

Top Penguin sounds like the kind of shit someone might ironically add to their business card soon. Just for 21st Century shits and clicks sake.
30 years ago people admonished the idea of even adding "geek" to a business name, as it sounded a bit too unprofessional.
The difference now? If Mark Zuckerberg started his infamous social media company tomorrow it would be called DumbFucks instead of Facebook.
