From my experience with legacy codebases, I can say that upgrading a minor version of Python is not the same as seamlessly upgrading a minor version of Go. Mainly because of standard library changes, like deprecations or removals.

Also, corpos usually provide its own system bundles with checked/approved software, which usually include not-so-fresh versions.
