uploading golang-1.10 everywhere

[Michael Hudson-Doyle]

Hi all,

At the recent sprint in Brussels, there was some discussion of providing a
way for packages in older Ubuntu releases a way to build with a newer
version of Go. After some discussion with the security team, it was decided
that it made sense to upload Go 1.10 (which is after all going to be
supported as part of Bionic for 5 years) to the older releases. I'm
mentioning this plan here (a) for awareness (b) to get the security team to
publicly acknowledge their agreement to the plan :)

There is a bug to track the uploads:

    https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/golang-1.10/+bug/1794395

All comments here or in the bug gratefully received.

Cheers,
mwh

PS: although it's always hard to predict the future, the plan as it is
today is also to backport whatever version of Go ends up in 20.04 LTS to
the releases that are still supported at that time, etc.
