I don't really, but in the wider scheme of things gold is perhaps
reasonably described as in beta test until it is the standard linker for
at least one distro. Also I would like to see the kernel developers
reliably test with gold, and of course the glibc build still does not
work with gold. I don't really know what the web page should say.
