Awesome. Does anybody here know where this discussion happened, for further reference?

  I believe the "official" start of the discussion was on the Go blog [1]. [1]: https://blog.golang.org/toward-go2 https://blog.golang.org/toward-go2

    Indeed, thanks. Here is the relevant part from it: > Go 2 must also bring along all the existing Go 1 source code. We must not split the Go ecosystem. Mixed programs, in which packages written in Go 2 import packages written in Go 1 and vice versa, must work effortlessly during a transition period of multiple years. We'll have to figure out exactly how to do that; automated tooling like go fix will certainly play a part.
