> build/test speeds weren't significantly impacted

it must be getting a little repetitive to test every version and find that Go continues to build crazy fast every time :)

I remember early in the go release cycle (talking around go1.4->later era) when I would rebuild our application with a new version and marvel at how much faster they made it. GC was another thing which was crazy, they halved GC pause time for like 5 or 6 releases in a row. like 1s -> 500ms -> 250ms -> 125ms etc etc etc.

The test doesn't take much time :)
