Comment (by gk):

 Sorry for the extra work but there won't be another build with
 `maint-6.5`. We are about to branch off `maint-7.0` from `master` which
 should only differ in missing snowflake and selfrando support. Thus, the
 next stable (which we are about to build) will have Go 1.8.x. Having a
 patch for using  Go 1.8.3 ready by tomorrow morning UTC would be nice. (I
 actually planned to write and test that one today myself but won't do so
 to avoid duplicated efforts.)
