I'm glad to read this, I've seen context prop up in more and more code for a while now and it feels like a bit of a wart on what was a good, simple programming language. There's a few more warts that have been added since Go 1.0, presumably to preserve backwards compatibility. Magic comments, the forking of the syscalls package, the vendoring experiment, the alias functionality, etc.
