You really wanted this discussion in public? Okay...

1. I don't recall being coordinated with on the last few rounds of
1.25/1.26 updates or adding Go 1.27. I'd be thrilled if you sent me an
email ever saying "Let's plan the next step." I appreciated the
discussion regarding planned deprecation in the recent 1.26-as-default
PR, after I initiated the discussion. (Though it included
2. I did not find that the changes in 1.26 warranted an MFH so I did
not do so. I'm pretty conservative about MFHs.
3. The fact that 1.27 does not exist in 2026Q3 is a great point and I
agree it would have been better to separate the commits for that
reason.
4. True. I did not deprecate 1.25. I did the updates in the middle of
the night because I couldn't sleep, and that didn't feel like the
right time to start the deprecation and exp-run cycle.
5. People who know you IRL say that they enjoy your company and that
you are a respectful person. I'm not sure whether FreeBSD is an outlet
for for some pent-up feelings or something, but come on, man. I work
here too. We're on the same team. I care about Go, and I put in a lot
of work to get it rolling again once it'd been abandoned. We all know
how much better you are, so I'm not sure what else you're proving. You
choose the way you speak to people, des, and you haven't given me much
reason to be excited about writing an email to you to coordinate. I'm
looking back to find an email reply from you that isn't wholesale
rejecting an idea, or telling me that I did something wrong because
you'd have done it differently. I haven't found it yet. Not even "try
X instead" or something, just "no that's bad." It's exhausting. So I'm
sorry, but, "Do you think maybe you could have coordinated with me" is
hard to reply to, because I need to stop laughing first.
"Coordinating" with you means emails written like the above.
