Thank you for working on this!
TL;DR: Yes, they would have upgrades, but we might only have 2~3 compat
packages at a given time, and I, personally, think it adds more complexity.
I agree, this seems to just be a complicated middle ground between the
current status quo (major Go update pushed to stable branch) and fully
versioned packages, with the downsides of both, but with the
advantages of neither.
And while I can see the argument that pushing major version updates
for Go to stable branches can cause unintended breakage and churn, I
don't think this would be a big problem in practice. And I assume that
*if* a change to the update cycle for golang like this were
implemented, the update would still land in rawhide *first*, then sit
there for a while (weeks? months?) until all problems have been
resolved, and *only then* merged to stable branches?

That's right. Maybe it was not clear in my initial mail, but I am not
trying to remove in any way the workflow. Every new major release would
land on Rawhide first, build there, and then move into the other
releases. Similar to what we have right now but targeting more branches.
Also, I intend to use mass-prebuild [0] before even pushing to Rawhide.
It's something that I should do no matter the outcome of the proposal,
as I hit/created last-minute issues in the previous two Fedora releases.
I played with the tool recently, and I really like it.
As far as I know, we can't run it as part of the CI, but the state of
the packages will appear in COPR and I can always link it to the PRs for
everyone to see.
