<div dir="ltr">James,<div>Beginning an email with "I want y’all to think about this very carefully" isn't going to get you the answer you want. It would have been better, if you're curious as to why Guido "quit", the best way would be to go through the archives of python-dev, as he did enumerate the reasons in a note sent to that list. That's all most of us are going to be forthcoming with out of respect for his privacy. -- H</div><div></div><span><img alt="" width="1" height="1" src="https://gml.email/v3.2/t/image/MTU0OTI0Mzk1Mzg5NWExMTJjNjZkOTNjZWZjZDA2ZDJjZjM3MTIxOWU2Jmhhc2FuLmRpd2FuQGdtYWlsLmNvbSZweXRob24taWRlYXNAcHl0aG9uLm9yZw.gif" id="_gml"></span></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sun, 3 Feb 2019 at 17:30, Terry Reedy <<a href="mailto:tjreedy@udel.edu">tjreedy@udel.edu</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">On 2/2/2019 11:04 AM, James Lu wrote:<br>

Guido resigned as 'Enhancement Czar'. He wrote what he want to say <br>
publicly as to why in his message to the committers list. Speculating <br>
beyond that strikes me as rude.<br>
He did not resign as President of the PSF nor as active core developer. <br>
He recently committed a large chunk of code.<br>
<br>
Antoine is correct that 'Python community enhancement' is off-topic <br>
*here*. This list is for "discussion of speculative language ideas for <br>
Python for possible inclusion into the language".<br>
