The other option of course is to push the release date of Python 3.8 back to accommodate the new governance structure. > On Jul 18, 2018, at 19:23, Tim Peters <tim.pet...@gmail.com> wrote: > Unsure!

PEP 572-level decisions would very definitely fall under that rubric. We have plenty of experts still in place that can make more minor decisions. In fact, perhaps we should largely operate as if our BDFL were just on a long vacation and not pronouncing on PEPs. That’s never frozen Python development before, and shouldn’t now. If PEP 572 were the only new syntax for 3.8, then so be it. Cheers, -Barry
