As sad as I am to see it go, it's a non-trivial amount of work to
update it for Go 1.10 (and upstream hasn't been very active on it
given other commitments and Go 1.11's new functionality making some of
it moot to a degree).

I love gb, but it's sane to RM it for now (we can always look to
reintroduce if/when it gets a refresh for newer Go).
