Python Software Foundation (PSF) Wrote:BREAKING! Guido van Rossum, the legendary creator of Python, has officially reinstated himself as Python’s Benevolent Dictator for Life (BDFL) - but this time, he’s bringing some new quirks with him.

Feat. Guido van Rossum, Barry Warsaw, 🍁 Brett Cannon and Mariatta Wijaya

Stay tuned for the Python documentary coming this summer!
Unfortunately, he wears his Microsoft jacket. I wonder if this is a promotional campaign of some sort.

It is well known that Python 2.8 will NEVER be released, so what is Barry Warsaw talking about? My guess is:

APRIL FOOL !!!!!

What could the keyword maybe do?
My initial thought was exactly the same - April Fool, regarding Guido's return as BDFL. maybe is a joke. Then at the end there is "python: documentary - coming this summer". So I guess it's a promo for documentary.
Btw, it was posted today on PSF LinkedIn page and also refers to documentary coming this summer..
