The name isn't that bad, but the authority question is... 
lieutenants would need enough documentation to make decisions on 
their own that they can be confident are correct and accepted by 
the leadership. We don't have that, so appointing someone to the 
title would be meaningless, regardless of what it is called.

General is a bit different because there's more autonomy there 
and such an individual may be ok making up their own rules.

I'm not so sure... those do form the groundwork for a lot of 
requested things like refactoring tools too which are somewhat 
common requests.

And this too, of course.
