There are two reasons.

First, the implementation of go-build-system is really inefficient for
Go 1.11, especially since things compiled with Go 1.11 keep a huge
run-time dependency graph:

https://bugs.gnu.org/32949

That could probably be fixed based on the info in that thread.

Second, there are packages that don't yet support Go 1.9. Syncthing is a
case where there are dependencies that need to be updated and tested.
