Guido is the community. He's the one with the most legitimacy to represent it. To imply that Guido is something separate and divorced from the community is textbook subversion. I can't imagine any reason that others leaders in the Python community would have irreconcilable differences with Guido than if their interests were to corrupt the project.

Guido is part of the community, not the community. At least not anymore.

Go to pycon and try to talk to him. He doesn't want to talk to just anyone. And he's not great at accepting feedback.

We love him, of course. But there are reasons maybe that the community of users should have a strong voice in where python goes as well.
