Re: [PATCH 1/1] Go: Update to 1.7

[ng0]

I just started working on this in my gogs-feature guix checkout, when
Petter pointed me to this patch.
Is it on someones todo inbox, or can someone commit it? The last comment
reads like go is good to go.

We'll find out about the sanitizing thing when someone with more go
knownledge runs into this I guess.
