Jakub or Alex, do you know whose prerogative is this?
I think Jakub is more appropriate than me to answer this question because I
never built EPEL but, as far as I remember, from a conversation with Jakub,
he was doing major upgrades of odd versions.
Mainly because a major version is going to be there for ~1 year and that
gives a little stability to the users of EPEL.
If what I said is accurate, the lack of 1.17 on Fedora is what made this
scenario.
Nevertheless, Go 1.15 doesn't have support anymore from upstream so I would
say that we should upgrade it.
I have no problems with trying to upgrade it to 1.16 or 1.17.
What do you think?
