cmd/go: build tags for beta and RC builds clarification #26458
Description
Hi,
I would like to get some clarification about how the build tags for Go versions work.
For example, we have now Go 1.11 Beta 1, which I would expect to use the go1.11beta1 build tag and, when Go 1.11 RC 1 is released, I would expect to have go1.11rc1 used. When Go 1.11 is released, I would expect to see go1.11 flag working.
However, currently Go 1.11 Beta 1 seems to use go1.11 as build tag. Normally, I would expect this to be a bug, since go1.11 > go1.11beta1 regarding release versions.
Have I missed something from the way build tags should work? Or if this is undocumented/unwritten can we please get some more official information on it?
Thank you.
