The irony of having at least two living BDFLs is just too exquisite to resist :-) But we can learn from other dictatorships too. For example, one of Kim Il Sung's many titles was "President". It was important for his son to get fancy titles too when he took over, so he was also called "President". And it was Kim Il Sung's title that changed, to "Eternal President". That gave him even more prestige. If there can be only one BDFL, then Guido's title should change to EBDFL. On his resume he can explain that means "Emeritus BDFL", but we'll all know it means "Eternal BDFL" :-)
