The Go version in the go.mod for x/net, x/crypto, x/text, and other x/ repos is currently go1.17, which prevents use of generics or any.

The oldest Go version within the support window is 1.19.

Is it time to update the x/ repos to depend on a post-generics version of Go? If so, perhaps we should also update packages in those repos to switch from interface{} to any at the same time.
