Significance of the name zaojun

Zao Jun is the Chinese god who acts as a household guardian, overseeing domestic harmony and reporting family conduct to the heavens—reinforcing moral behavior within the kin unit. This tool tries to keep your project and its dependencies in harmony. It doesn’t report to any third parties, though :)

I know it’s a bit far-fetched, but I like it—so there!
