Due to the release of Go 1.7, the standard library now offers context implementation within the request data structure itself. This means that one no longer has to choose between one of the prior options for passing the context from handler to handler when building a web framework, as that context is now always present on the request itself. Granted, this context is a little more of a bare bones lightweight context, but it does support cancellation and is used elsewhere.
