I'm not sure Russ's personal blog is any kind of official statement "this is what we're doing" yet?

I've found it's generally a very strong indicator.

But to your point, this isn't a new issue, there's been a good amount of discussion around it over the years.

In the old discussion, I specifically complained about how it would add back door coroutines to Go via iterators, and now Russ has a post about formalizing the concept of a coroutine, while also keeping the optimization of coroutines as a runtime implementation detail. I feel vindicated. :-)
