For someone who follows the mailing lists and issue comments this has been 
known for a while, but it's easy to see where the confusion comes from, 
given these blog posts:

https://blog.golang.org/toward-go2
https://blog.golang.org/go2-here-we-come
https://blog.golang.org/go2-next-steps

They mention backward-compatibility, but only for the initial proposals "to 
get the ball rolling". There hasn't been a blog post titled "There are no 
plans for Go 2" or "Go 2 is not what you think it is" so far. The current 
policy seems to be this document:

"Proposal: Go 2 transition": 
https://go.googlesource.com/proposal/+/refs/heads/master/design/28221-go2-transitions.md
"If the above process works as planned, then in an important sense there 
never will be a Go 2."

It is labeled "Proposal", but it doesn't seem to be a proposal in the usual 
proposal process sense, and many may have missed it.
