> A bit of a harsh way to phrase that. In my experience, the backwards compatibility promises have been very good, and the way you stay up-to-date with security fixes and bugs in the standard library is to upgrade Go. I don’t think we disagree? There is no reason to use old version of go. I speak about grandparent comment who wanted to still run go1.18. It is not a good idea to still run go1.18, as it doesn’t get security updates.
