For a language which seems to have been intended initially for writing maintainable network services the absence of a means to set timeouts or cancel requests in the original network apis was clearly an oversight. I like what they have proposed with generics and other recent changes and I would like to see a fresh look at this problem. Context is working as intended here as it returns a copy which is well documented. Cancellation and timeouts are useful but WithValue seems like a nasty hack to me. I think it should be avoided and possibly deprecated.
