Hi Oleg,

That's awesome! I don't have much to add, except that it might be good
to sync on what we would like to achieve now that the go-team branch exists.

I was planning on working through some of the points I proposed here:

https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2024-02/msg00054.html

(I accidentally created a separate thread, because I didn't reply to you
directly.)

What I would love to implement soon are the test-flags. This should be a
rather straightforward change, as we already have the build-flags.
Nonetheless, it would allows us to skip individual tests (for go >=1.20)
or set higher timeouts. Unfortunately, the past week has been rather
busy for me though.

Best wishes,

Troy
