1.13 RC Status and 1.14 development window

[Andrew Bonventre]

Hi Gophers,

We're very aware that the release is late, and we're doing our best to get out an RC candidate as soon as possible. We plan to cut an internal RC this week and have it run for a few days within Google before an external release as per https://golang.org/wiki/Go-Release-Cycle#july-1--january-1-release-candidate-1-issued

Due to the latency of this release, we will open the tree for development once we have an RC out publicly for a few days and no major issues have been found. This is to prevent the 1.14 development window from shrinking even more than it already has.

I will send a separate planning email for 1.14 development.

Thanks for your patience on this,

Andy
