> If Guido wasn't himself while writing the PEP572, I ask for a new vote about the PEP572. I vote against it, the PEP572 should not be implemented.

There is really nothing in the e-mail that indicates that.

I can only imagine the message it would send to recall the PEP. I guess it would confirm his decision in a most callous way.

Some people on Internet are reconsidering a second vote for the Brexit, while that PEP didn't even have a vote at all, given it was a dictatorship so far.

Guido wrote the principles of Python, the principles should outlive his reign. :-)

That really isn't a fair comparison. This is about one person, not two opposing groups.

What I meant is, even if democracy isn't perfect (see the Brexit case), a form of democracy maybe a better system in some situation than the dictatorship of one person.
