  You were expecting a patch bump to contain a major language change?

    At this point I really am not expecting it ever.

They had to remove a little easter egg in the net/http library to fix a bug on RasPi: https://go-review.googlesource.com/c/38785/ https://go-review.googlesource.com/c/38785/

  What is the significance of Wed, 25 May 1977 18:00:00 GMT? I don't get how that's an easter egg?

  Prioritise your use-cases dude! I don't think this "bug" needed to be fixed. I mean if the RPi were running a space probe, the thing would unblock, long long before it got to its destination in a galaxy far, far away.
