In the case of case/switch, there is no consensus on what the statement

different case statements people want".
Since when does Guido need a consensus? Look the developers have only limited
time, and they get to choose what they consider a priority and what they don't.
And if they think other things have higher priority, fine by me. But don't
come with, no support/consensus with the users, because if the dev-team thinks
something is a good idea, they'll implement it without much consideration for
support/consensus among the users.
A number of recent PEPs have been given delegated authority, so someone
other than Guido makes the final decision as to whether to accept or
reject it. I can only suggest you don't follow some of the intense wars
of words that go on on python-dev, or even python-ideas, as the part
about this dev-team simply overriding users is nonsense.
