+1

+1, but also:

Proposal: Given that the Go schedule is predictable and not aligned with Fedora's stable lifecycle, FESCo grants a blanket permission to update stable Fedora releases to newer Go releases.

Yeah, +1 this request, but also +1 a persistent approval.

Yes to the permanent exception. +1

+1, with the caveat that for now, I'd only think this should happen on Fedora N-1 as soon as the Go version there is EOL upstream. A permanent blanket exception for stable branches is something that could be considered, but that would require more discussion IMO.

+1 to both too. (Though I agree with decathorpe that it'd be better to do this separately, with a concrete proposal text.)

Absolutely, when I said, "make this part of the usual release process", I meant to do it only on Fedora N-1 and only when the Go version goes EOL. I do believe it is the sane and conservative way to handle the schedule mismatch.

OK, I'll revise my previous Proposal to be more constrained.

Proposal: Given that the Go schedule is predictable and not aligned with Fedora's stable lifecycle, FESCo grants a blanket permission to update stable Fedora releases to the next supported release once the version that was shipped at Fedora's GA has gone end-of-life.

Note: this restarts the seven-day voting period for the permanent exception, but the original request on this ticket will be approved tomorrow, assuming no -1 votes appear.

+1 for the specific exception

Also +1 for the blanket permission in stable releases if the golang version shipped goes EOL per Stephen's last proposal

+1 to the revised proposal.

+1 to revised proposal.

+1 to revised proposal.

+1 to revised proposal and pre-emptively approving permanent exception.

The first part is approved after a week:
APPROVED (+5, 0, 0): "update the version in Fedora 42 to Go 1.25 to avoid the EOL and allow packages to be updated"

I filed https://forge.fedoraproject.org/fesco/docs/pulls/128 based on @sgallagh's proposal.

The PR was merged.

Announced in the 2026-02-24 meeting summary

Reopening while we resolve the question of a permanent exception. It was probably premature to merge the docs MR yet, but in the unlikely event that we reject this proposal, we can revert it.

Oh indeed, I shouldn't have done that. But let's just wait for the clock to run out.

I think both parts (the one-time exception and the permanent exception) can be considered approved now. It's been enough time and there haven't been negative votes.
