Hi!
1/ 1.26 is the default in Debian already, and we want to ship the latest
for the 26.04 LTS release - something that will stay for at least 15
years. This also helps in patching vulnerabilities a few years down the
line. As for improvements, there's a new GC called greentea which can
improve performance by upto 40% and there's also reduced overhead for
cgo calls. Our builds in the archive will benefit from the improved
performance.
2/ That has now been updated to mention that _new_ packages will pick up
1.26 as Go is statically compiled. We're not planning a mass rebuild. Go
1.26 is pretty much backward compatible with 1.24/1.25 - which has
already received a mass rebuild (thanks to Debcrafters :)). We've done a
mass rebuild of 1.26 in a PPA, and we have about 50 package failures. We
plan to remove a few things that have been FTBFS'ing since Noble and fix
the remaining ones.
3/ Apologies - by that, Anshul meant the 50 packages that we have to
either remove or upload a fix for.
Hope that clears things up a bit. Let me know if you need any other details.
