Proposal Details

Per discussion in #52188, X, Y, Z, Microsoft will stop supporting Windows 10 22H2 and older versions at the beginning of next year. We should follow suit. Windows Server 2016/2019, which I understand we use mostly as a proxy for 10 21H2/22H2, will fall out of support at the same time.

On behalf of @golang/release, I propose we announce the end of support in the 1.22 release notes, and disable the builder for 1.23.

Dear users stop disliking, Golang team give no sh-t about your opinion and usage share of products
They stopped supporting Windows 7/8 & Server 2008/2012 (NT 6.1-6.3)(#57003 / #57004) even though they are the most lightweight versions of Windows / Windows Server and their usage share is so high

So they will not care about your dislikes and they will ruin Golang more 😂
Let them do their job and you stay on old versions or use another lang if you don't like them

Let's wait for the Windows maintainer group to make such a decision.

Please keep https://go.dev/conduct in mind when discussing on the issue tracker.

'not planned'? then plan it! what is the problem?
You stopped supporting NT 6.1-6.3 and removed a few fallbacks just to crash many many apps on the most used windows server versions for no reason
Now you can't end support of the most bloated and useless versions of windows that even Microsoft stopped supporting them?
Let's just ruin golang more and make the community stop at version 1.20
