I have done a bunch of the work for go support in meta-virtualization. I am 
currently doing some updates around issues which per recipe sysroots 
uncovered. I think we would be fine moving our support out of meta-virt if 
support was somewhere where our changes would be taken/considered and merges 
would be done in a timely manner, something that hasn't always been the case 
with the previous attempts to centralize go.

Feel free to ping me on this, I will try to find time to try it out and will 
work to get it to the point where we can consider removing parts/all from 
meta-virt.
