My uninformed impression of the Python steering committee has always been like the C/C++ one. Ponderously bureaucratic, trying to find solutions that work for every competing interest, by the time they get to an agreement the real world has already moved on and solved things in their own way, which makes fragmentation and intercompatibility worse. I know that Guido isn’t around any more, but this is what a BDFL is useful for. To have the final say when, inevitably, the squabbling parties are unable to find a compromise.
