<p>
These new language changes required a large amount of new code that
has not had significant testing in production settings. That will
only happen as more people write and use generic code. We believe
that this feature is well implemented and high quality. However,
unlike most aspects of Go, we can't back up that belief with real
world experience. Therefore, while we encourage the use of generics
where it makes sense, please use appropriate caution when deploying
generic code in production.
