Go 1.8.3 is released

Go is my go to language for a lot of tasks, but I don't understand why it makes it to the front page of HN. It's a minor release.

Urgent security releases? Sure. A major release with perf improvements or interesting new APIs? Sure. But this? Who's this for?

That's simple: it's because people vote it there.

Can't this line of reasoning be applied to everything on the internet?

Judging by the upvotes, certain people were happy with this submission.

Maybe it just serves as a reminder to update Go?
