| Backports are packages taken from the next Debian release (called | "testing"), adjusted and recompiled for usage on Debian stable. So my confusion here is that you don't want to see them in Stable, but you do want to see them in testing (and backports). This isn't what testing is for, of course :) This, to me, feels like more of a systemic issue than this small side conversation. I don't see anything inherent about Go that makes it unsupportable. I *do* see more software being developed in a way that makes it nearly impossible for Debian to distribute. This, however, is a much bigger conversation. Cheers, Paul
