Debug Flags and Backwards Compatibility
In this chapter, they discuss a new behavior in Go's debug flags and how it affects the tool chain. They explain that the tool chain can emulate older versions of the tool chain by enabling the debug flag introduced in a later version. This allows for backwards compatibility and preserves the old behavior. They also mention the need to handle security issues better and express excitement about the ability to make changes with more confidence.
