Guido's term as Benevolent Dictator For Life has been a long one, but in the wake of his resignation, we have an opportunity to correct some fundamental flaws in the system. Among them: * Guido lacks patience, as evidenced by the brevity of his acceptance posts. See https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2017-December/151038.html and https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2011-November/114545.html and particularly https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2016-May/144646.html where Guido specifically cites his own lack of patience. * Lately, all Guido's actions have been to benefit his employer, not the Common Pythonista. We have proof of this from reliable reporting sources such as Twitter and social media. * Finally, "For Life" is far too long. We need to change our rulers periodically. I propose a new way to appoint a project head. All candidates shall be flown to an island owned by the Python Secret Underground (which emphatically does NOT exist, but an island that would be owned by it if it did), whereupon they parachute down, search for guns, and proceed to fight each other until only one is left alive. The survivor shall be treated to a chicken dinner and proclaimed Patient, Understanding, Benevolent Governor, a title which shall be retained for one fortnight, after which we repeat the exercise. If this plan meets with broad approval, I shall write up PEP 3401, in honour of the prior art in PEP 401. ChrisA
