> I'm confused, is this a curated set of existing Go libraries, or a brand-new set of libraries?

Toward the bottom of the page they talk about contributing back to open source projects and sponsoring the development of some packages, so it certainly appears to be a curated set of existing Go libraries.

Red Hat provides 10+ years on the code they ship. What's so shocking about 3?

Does Red Hat ship (and maintain) arbitrary 3rd party code?

All Linux distributions consist primarily of third-party code.

I don't know what you mean by "arbitrary", though. It makes no sense in context, and is notably at odds with your earlier use of the word "curated". Nobody ships random code. That wouldn't be curated, nor would it be useful.

Most of their code is third-party code.
