There are no runtime metrics for this change,
This setting may be removed in a future release, Go 1.27 at the earliest.

Go 1.23 changed the mode bits reported by [`os.Lstat`](/pkg/os#Lstat) and [`os.Stat`](/pkg/os#Stat)
for reparse points, which can be controlled with the `winsymlink` setting.
As of Go 1.23 (`winsymlink=1`), mount points no longer have [`os.ModeSymlink`](/pkg/os#ModeSymlink)

### Timer changes

Go 1.23 makes two significant changes to the implementation of
[time.Timer] and [time.Ticker].

First, `Timer`s and `Ticker`s that are no longer referred to by the program
become eligible for garbage collection immediately, even if their
`Stop` methods have not been called.
Earlier versions of Go did not collect unstopped `Timer`s until after
they had fired and never collected unstopped `Ticker`s.

On Windows, [EvalSymlinks] no longer evaluates mount points,
which was a source of many inconsistencies and bugs.
This behavior is controlled by the `winsymlink` setting.
For Go 1.23, it defaults to `winsymlink=1`.
Previous versions default to `winsymlink=0`.

On Windows, [EvalSymlinks] no longer tries to normalize
volumes to drive letters, which was not always even possible.
This behavior is controlled by the `winreadlinkvolume` setting.
