Comment (by herbygillot):

 PR here: https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/33730

 We’ll be addressing this by providing `go-1.XX` ports, with a portgroup
 (`go_toolchain-1.0`) that knows which Go version is the highest available
 for a given Darwin version.

 This PR only introduces the portgroup and versioned ports. It changes
 nothing right now other than that.

 In a subsequent PR, we will modify the `golang` portgroup to select the
 appropriate Go version per the macOS version it’s on.

 Then some time later, we modify Go ports so that they can indicate which
 Go version they require at minimum, as set in the Go project’s `go.mod`.
 Once this is done, we will avoid a lot of unnecessary build churn on
 buildbots where from the outset we know the project can’t build.
