“I'm basically giving myself a permanent vacation from being BDFL”
Reading that thread is like reading an actual Monty Python plot.<p>Guido van Rossum has given his life for this language and besides the obligatory &#x27;thanks for all the fish&#x27; there isn&#x27;t even a single person who stops the clock to evaluate <i>what went wrong</i> that they pushed out the person that started this all.<p>Instead it&#x27;s &#x27;kthxbye&#x27; and they&#x27;re already dividing up the cake to see who gets to rule.<p>Not the nicest moment in the history of FOSS, I wonder what kind of a mess will ensue when Linus steps down.
