Yeah, I've found that version locking dependencies isn't quite as robust as I've come to expect from things like ruby gems and npm.

Also fair warning about cross compiling - it's fine with plain old go code, but the second you start dealing with cgo your life gets complicated quick.

I too would welcome a WPILib port of Go, but I don't know if it really gives you much benefit over the other languages out there. Python/Lua are nice because they are a very different type of language.
