The monthly tagging workflow skips updating modules annotated with tagx:ignore. This was done out of necessity to break cycles in the module graph (CL 439136).
This means those golang.org/x modules are left to be upgraded manually and may end up on fairly old versions. Also see issue #56530 for related motivation and data points.
It should be quite viable to add best-effort updating of these modules to at least their latest version available at the start of a given tagging workflow.
