Completed the start-of-freeze update for the 1.15 cycle in [CL 231657](https://golang.org/cl/231657). Moving to 1.16 milestone and adding early-in-cycle.

This issue is currently labeled as early-in-cycle for Go 1.16. That [time is now](https://groups.google.com/d/msg/golang-dev/qtxOW0x4Rrw/0rB32h12BQAJ), so this is a friendly ping so the issue is looked at again.

I'm creating a short program that performs this task. Using a program makes it easier to precisely define our update policy, and adjust it over time as needed. It also...

> Indirect golang.org/x dependencies are not updated, although they could be. I'm going with the more conservative choice for now. I'm open to feedback on this, and can see pros/cons...

[CL 256357](https://golang.org/cl/256357) has updated golang.org/x/... packages, and [CL 248499](https://golang.org/cl/248499) (/cc @hyangah) will update the remaining packages (pprof and demangle). We'll need to repeat this at start of code freeze for...

@zikaeroh That bug fix looks reasonable. Please feel free to send a CL updating it (similar to CL 260538), and make me and @hyangah its reviewers. We're still before beta...

By now, the minimum required updates have been done at the end of the Go 1.16 development cycle (via [CL 266898](https://golang.org/cl/266898) and [CL 260538](https://golang.org/cl/260538)). There are some more updates we...

With the 5 CLs above, we're in good shape for early in cycle. Removing that label to revisit this closer to the code freeze.

CL 361294 updated github.com/google/pprof. CLs 362734, 362735, 362736, and 361094 updated all golang.org/x dependencies other than x/mod. That is all that's left for the purpose of this issue (other individual...
