Considering that we're technically past the upgrade freeze and we're only
still talking about this patch set as there's other, larger, patches we're
holding M3 for discussing waiting for another upgrade isn't really an
option unless 1.10.1 is due *very* soon.

So my opinion is that as Go is getting quite some traction but is also
under quite heavy development, unless there's a 1.10.1 release due *this
week* which solves the problems that InfluxDB et al are having then we
should ship both in this release, and drop 1.9.4 from master once 1.10.1 is
added.  1.10 should be the default version, and hopefully we don't have to
do this again.
