[$] Python post-Guido

The recent announcement by Guido van Rossumthat he was stepping away from his "benevolent dictator for life" (BDFL) role for Python was met with somesurprise, but not much shock, at least in the core-developer community.Van Rossum has been telegraphing some kind of change, at some unspecifiedpoint, for several years now, though the proximate cause (the "PEP 572 mess") isunfortunate. In the meantime, though, the project needs to figure outhow to govern itself moving forward-Van Rossum did not appoint a successorand has left the governance question up to the core developers.
