| 1 | All, |

| 3 | there is a patch to dev-lang/go that was added a while back w/o |
| 4 | consulting me [1]. I eventually did review the patch, and I see that it |
| 5 | hard codes a path to the sysctl binary on OSx. In my view, prefix or |
| 6 | not, we shouldn't be patching software to hard code paths to binaries; |
| 7 | we should be fixing PATH instead. |

| 9 | Thoughts? |
