Mostly I'm just concerned that any issue discovered during the mass-rebuild
that
would require a downgrade to Go 1.7 would require another mass-rebuild to
accomplish it. Which really means that once this process starts, we're
committed
to finishing it (and fixing whatever comes up). Thus, it seems like there
isn't
a realistic contingency strategy (and we should make that clear in the
proposal
for FESCo to judge the risk).
I believe it is the same as in other issues found at the mass-rebuild time, backing the
change and rebuilding affected packages. Or am I missing something?
As the Betas and RC of golang are coming out I do my local "scratch rebuilds"
and I'm confident even at current moment with Beta1 mass re-buld would be
successful(from Go side).
