Guido's most visible (well, to us committers) BDFL role has been in "yes/no", "go/nogo" language/library design questions, which don't even overlap with the PSF's proper concerns.
But I'm not sure it's fully appreciated just how active Guido has been in those at times. The "accepted/rejected" at the end of major PEPs is just a small part of that. Along the way, e.g., it's been pretty common to see a "Save your breath. That's not going to happen." from Guido to end a distracting alternative (sub)proposal persistently promoted by one (or a few) very active and/or loquacious posters.
