As you move from experimentation in feature branches to a more long-term 
plan, it would be great if you could formally propose the support of Go 
as an officially-supported language in OpenStack, following the 
resolution at:

That will help in clarifying our stance there and should kick off 
interesting side discussions on infrastructure/QA support.
