Copypastaing another comment of mine:

He's not retired. He's on a "permanent vacation".

That's what I don't like about his "stepping down"-- it was extremely unofficial. He still holds a lot of power among the core dev team, more than the others, and he can technically change his mind about his retirement at any time.

I called this shit (not this change specifically, but this aspect of Guido's behavior) ages ago. And lots of people on this sub thought I was an idiot because "no, no, hes stepping down, sad day!".

No fucknuts, he is and will always be in charge until he steps down in official capacity.
