Well, this was short-lived. Guido has now retired in the furore and
this decision has been corrected:

    Guido […] has decided to step aside as its Benevolent Dictator
    For Life. His official title is now Benevolent Dictator Emeritus
    Vacationing Indefinitely from the Language (BDEVIL). […]

    Guido's successor has been chosen: Barry Warsaw, or as he is
    affectionately known, Uncle Barry. Uncle Barry's official title
    is Friendly Language Uncle For Life (FLUFL). […]

    FLUFL Uncle Barry enacts the following decisions, in order to
    demonstrate his intention to lead the community in the same
    responsible and open manner as his predecessor, whose name
    escapes him:

    * Recognized that the selection of Hg as the DVCS of choice was
      clear proof of the onset of the BDEVIL's insanity, and reverting
      this decision to switch to Bzr instead, the only true choice.

This programmer, for one, welcomes our new FLUFL overlord.
