I have seriously entertained the idea of contacting the people maintaining
the kernel website and offering to reword that page to use a more neutral
and professional language (just the exaplantory text, not the code examples
themselves).

However, I don't think it's worth the effort to even contact them because
I'm somewhat certain of what their answer will be. Something along the
lines of "the page is fine as it is, there's no need to change it."
And I wouldn't be surprised if there was some slight mockery in the
response. (And that's assuming I would get any response at all.)
