To-be-released NetBSD 7.1.1 reportedly fixes the kernel panic that was
affecting our builders and is being released because of Go's warning.
So, soften our warning.
7.1.1 might work, but I can't get a builder up and running to verify
yet as it appears that Anita either doesn't support it yet, or the
NetBSD CDN doesn't have the files yet.

For non-constant shifts with an untyped constant shift count, the
spec only said that it must "be converted to unsigned integer type".
go/types accepts any (arbitrarily large) integer value. Both cmd/compile
and gccgo require that the shift count be representable as a uint value
in that case (if the shift count is typed, it may be any unsigned integer
type).
This change adjusts the spec to state what the compilers have been doing
all along. The new wording matches similar rules elsewhere (e.g., for
untyped array and slice indices). Also, while technically this is a
restriction (we could permit arbitrarily large shift counts), in practice
this is irrelevant.

This change removes the punitive language and anonymous reporting mechanism
from the Code of Conduct document. Read on for the rationale.
More than a year has passed since the Go Code of Conduct was introduced.
In that time, there have been a small number (<30) of reports to the Working Group.
Some reports we handled well, with positive outcomes for all involved.
A few reports we handled badly, resulting in hurt feelings and a bad
experience for all involved.
On reflection, the reports that had positive outcomes were ones where the
Working Group took the role of advisor/facilitator, listening to complaints and
providing suggestions and advice to the parties involved.
The reports that had negative outcomes were ones where the subject of the
report felt threatened by the Working Group and Code of Conduct.
After some discussion among the Working Group, we saw that we are most
effective as facilitators, rather than disciplinarians. The various Go spaces
already have moderators; this change to the CoC acknowledges their authority
and places the group in a purely advisory role. If an incident is
reported to the group we may provide information to or make a
suggestion the moderators, but the Working Group need not (and should not) have
any authority to take disciplinary action.
In short, we want it to be clear that the Working Group are here to help
resolve conflict, period.
The second change made here is the removal of the anonymous reporting mechanism.
To date, the quality of anonymous reports has been low, and with no way to
reach out to the reporter for more information there is often very little we
can do in response. Removing this one-way reporting mechanism strengthens the
message that the Working Group are here to facilitate a constructive dialogue.

First steps towards defining type aliases in the spec.
This is a nomenclature clarification, not a language change.
The spec used all three terms 'embedded type', 'anonymous field',
and 'embedded field'. Users where using the terms inconsistently.
The notion of an 'anonymous' field was always misleading since they
always had a de-facto name. With type aliases that name becomes even
more important because we may have different names for the same type.
Use the term 'embedded field' consistently and remove competing
terminology.

A 16bit binary exponent permits a constant range covering roughly the range
from 7e-9865 to 7e9863 which is more than enough for any practical and
hypothetical constant arithmetic.
Furthermore, until recently cmd/compile could not handle very large exponents
correctly anyway; i.e., the chance that any real programs (but for tests that
explore corner cases) are affected are close to zero.
Finally, restricting the minimum supported range significantly reduces the
implementation complexity in an area that hardly matters in reality for new
or alternative spec-compliant implementations that don't or cannot rely on
pre-existing arbitratry precision arithmetic packages that support a 32bit
exponent range.
This is technically a language change but for the reasons mentioned above
this is unlikely to affect any real programs, and certainly not programs
compiled with the gc or gccgo compilers as they currently support up to
32bit exponents.
Fixes#13572.

This is a backwards-compatible language change.
Per the proposal (#16085), the rules for conversions are relaxed
such that struct tags in any of the structs involved in the conversion
are ignored (recursively).
Because this is loosening the existing rules, code that compiled so
far will continue to compile.
For #16085.

The download page says "OS X 10.8 or later", but other pages said 10.7.
Say 10.8 everywhere.
Turns out Go doesn't even compile on OS X 10.7 (details in bug) and we
only run builders for OS X 10.8+, which is likely why 10.7
regressed. Until recently we only had OS X 10.10 builders, even.
We could run 10.7 builders, but there's basically no reason to do so,
especially with 10.12 coming out imminently.

New Gophers sometimes misconstrue the advice in the "Generality" section
as "export interfaces instead of implementations" and add needless
interfaces to their code as a result. Down the road, they end up
needing to add methods and either break existing callers or have to
resort to unpleasant hacks (e.g. using "magic method" type-switches).
Weaken the first paragraph of this section to only advise leaving types
unexported when they will never need additional methods.
