## Note regarding Golang and FIPS
When adding support for a new major/minor Golang version, we also need to
ensure there's a matching [`golang-fips`](https://github.com/golang-fips/)
branch available, e.g. for Golang 1.21 there's https://github.com/golang-fips/go/tree/go1.21-fips-release.
The `golang-fips` branch creation process can take time and so it
[may be necessary to use the previous version](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-build-images/-/merge_requests/771)
until it's available.
