Go 1.6 is now in trusty-proposed

[Cheryl Jennings]

These intermittently failing unit tests are often due to unreliable unit
tests, rather than problems in the code.  As nice as it would be to not
have to retry tests (particularly unit tests), I'd much rather we spend our
precious resources on fixing bugs that are causing pain for our users.

There are currently 168 Triaged bugs targeted against 2.0-beta4 [0], many
of which have been reported by actual users and have been deferred release
after release.  For comparison, there are 18 go 1.5 /1.6 bugs found by CI.

Thanks,
-Cheryl
