New submission from Sebastian Bassi :
Following the trend initiated at https://bugs.python.org/issue34605, I want to
point out that the term dictator has a negative connotation in Argentina and
other countries where we suffered bloody dictatorship (3 dead and missing
persons, or "desaparecidos" as we call it).
I understand that the former title BDFL may be funny for most developers, but
the term "benevolent dictatorship" (or it Spanish equivalent "dictablanda") was
used in Chile by the Pinochet's regime.
This title doesn't reflect the democratic nature of the whole project.
My suggestion is to take this into account when defining PEP-8010 and related
documentation.
