go 1.5 is still *less* reliable than Go 1.2 on trusty. We see these non-voting jobs fail more often in the final results. The jobs are also retried 3 or 4 times where as the Go 1.2 jobs are 2 times. We can make this more obvious by making the Go 1.5 jobs voting, and not permit more retries that the other jobs. This will curse master. Also, we made the wily unit tests voting by allowing more tries. Juju and its test suite are less reliable on any Go other than 1.2 As Juju 1.25 is built with Go 1.5/1.6 on wily and xenial. We would prefer to build it with Go 1.5 for trusty so that there are fewer combinations to test and certify. But we wont accept Go 1.5 at this time because stable Juju is even more unreliable than master.
