On a better look on the entire document, I woudn't change a single
word... IMO, this is a masterpiece where any changes would damage
it... Every time I read this, it makes me laugh so hard that tears
roll down my face :-D

While it brings some real tips, it was written to be annedotical.

So, from my side, I would just keep it as-is, even if someone
write another document better describing Kernel management
style.
