A question specifically to Denys, how can I actually get this into the mixin repo, and have commit rights to the branch? We've tested this quite well in private, and there are further enhancements coming up.

+"Mixin" layer for adding latest Go toolchain versions into the Yocto Project LTS.
+
+At the time Dunfell was released in April 2020, Go 1.14 was the latest version
+and officially Dunfell supports only that. This thin special-purpose mixin
+layer is meant to address this issue by backporting Go recipes from the master
+branch of openembedded-core.
+
+You can see what Go versions are provided by listing recipes-devtools/ content.
+
+Including the layer automatically picks up the latest Go version; different versions
+need to be set explicitly by adding the following line to your distro config
+or local.conf:
+
+GOVERSION = "1.16%"
+
+Please note: enabling these newer Go versions makes docker from dunfell branch
+of meta-virtualization unbuildable as it is too old. If you need a working docker
+recipe, you can use the supplementary 'dunfell/docker' layer from this meta-lts-mixin
+repository.
