I'm very glad that we have the latest Go, but this commit message did
not follow our standards, which are linked to in the manual, section 8.5
Submitting Patches.

https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/html_node/Submitting-Patches.html

The changelog should have mentioned that we disabled more tests, patched
more shebangs, and adjusted the path to the "testar script".

I don't think we should revert and rewrite it, but it's something to
keep in mind for the future. Having a standardized commit log makes it a
lot easier to read the history of the project.

Anyways, thank you Petter for handling this upgrade!
