You can still get a backtrace without symbols though.

Why couldn't the Go team introduce a flag that strips symbols, while making clear to people that they should only use it if they are okay with backtraces looking like

  #1  0x00007ffff7ddb899 in __GI_abort () at abort.c:79
  #2  0x0000555555555156 in ?? ()
  #3  0x0000555555555168 in ?? ()
  #4  0x000055555555517d in ?? ()
  #5  0x0000555555555192 in ?? ()
