Go lang update: 2.16 has some big in-progress changes where Pants will build the Go SDK packages instead of relying on prebuilt package archives. (Go v1.20 will no longer ship with the prebuilt package archives.) Current PRs awaiting review: • https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/pull/17995 • https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/pull/17993 There are a few more PRs to land after that to complete the support (mostly for cgo to continue to work). Is there another 2.16 dev release to go or will next release be the 2.16 alpha? (I'd like to finish this work before the alpha.)

there is one other thing that we are waiting on before cutting 2.16.x: the stabilization of

. @ancient-vegetable-10556 is working on that, but is out until Monday
