Hello Katherine and Ludovic,

I've finally had the time to push the patches[0], my house was hit hard by
sickness.

Concerning having Go 1.18 as the default version, I think it's on Ludovic
side to create a
branch to see where things breaks..

Not sure where the outputs will be but I am sure we will have a few
dependencies to fix
It will be good to work together to fix them.

Thanks
