> PR Here: https://github.com/apache/thrift/pull/1459
> This patch wires through {{context.Context}} such that it can be used in in 
> {{http.Request}}'s {{WithContext}} method. This allows Thrift HTTP requests 
> to canceled or timed out via the context.
> This patch breaks support for go<1.7 so it's not ready to ship, but I'm 
> hoping to get some direction on this. When does Thrift expect to drop support 
> of go1.7? It looks like the current solution is to duplicate files that need 
> to use {{golang.org/x/net/context}} and add a {{// +build !go1.7}} but 
> duplication seems unsustainable as the {{context}} package is imported more 
> places.
> Go 1.7 was released 15 August 2016. Given Golang has had significant 
> performance improvements in most dot releases, I suspect most production 
> services stay reasonably up to date. Here at Periscope/Twitter we're on 
> go1.9.1, and we're a fairly large organization.
