As an outsider I can just see some toxic behaviour here from people that seem to have some authority within Python project / steering. The fact that it has gotten this far, something which Peters apparently was trying to prevent and unfortunately failed to do so, is a big red flag to me. I agree a fork would fail. This is why I will avoid and recommend against utilising Python as a technology, because forking isn't realistic or constructive, and it seems the major implementation has this political baggage now. I'd only change my mind on this if the project apologised and reversed their decision, but given how the decisions were made I don't see that as a likely outcome.
