worst-case outcome for the Python community as a whole. It means that PyQt development won't open up and become more community driven, that we (and other customers) still have to worry about the what-if-Phil-gets-hit-by-a-bus scenario,

Is this the classic "What happens to my FOSS / closed source application if Riverbank disappears?" problem? (Also known as Bus Factor 1) How big is the concern seriously? This sounds like the same situation that KDE was in when Qt was QPL/GPL, incidentally.
