I've not been following in detail this discussion, but where do we currently stand? Is the proposed Go 1.21 patch basically ready? Should we create a branch and build job to start seeing how far we get in making 1.21 the default Go in Guix? Like others, I have a few random Go packages (a bunch locally I really need to clean up too) and am not familiar with the language and our packaging much. Still, if I can help review/push some patches and get things moving, please let me know. And thanks for all your work here, it is appreciated! John
