Description

We decided to remove Go SDK images from release process from 2.21.0, because Go SDK is not mutual enough to release.

 

We can add the images back to release process when following items happens.

1. Go SDK is mutual enough for users to use it. lostluck should have ideas when they will be ready. 
2. Add licenses/notices/source code to the images to avoid legal issue. There was a PR try to do this, but was closed as we decided not to release Go images. PR: https://github.com/apache/beam/pull/11246

 

To remove Go SDKs from release, we need to do following items.

1. Remove Go SDK container from release process.
2. Update document about it.

PR for removing: https://github.com/apache/beam/pull/11308

 

To add Go SDK images back to release process, we need to revert and may improve above two items.
