> That guy was the core of the Python community for over 20 years

Exactly. I can't imagine keeping the same job/role for 20 years. Guido even says it : he is tired. He has had the energy, drive and will to steer the python ship for 20 years. He now feels that it is time for him to take a well deserved holiday/vactaion/time off.

As other have said, this has probably already been discussed within the core devs already.

But people need to find a "reason" to explain what is just a very natural process. And will spend countless hours looking for it instead for just moving to the next adventure.
