The walrus operator incident was a big part of why Guido stepped down:
> He credits his decision to step down as partly due to his experience with the turmoil over PEP 572: "Now that PEP 572 is done, I don't ever want to have to fight so hard for a PEP and find that so many people despise my decisions."
I agree that Guido should have been immune, but even he wasn't.
