It is worth remembering that Debian is not only a stable release.
Statically built Golang apps are easy to install from testing/unstable into
stable and packaging still provides certain benefits.
Stable Debian release protects users from sudden unexpected and disruptive
changes but some prefer to run their systems from "testing".
With rapidly changing upstream projects users can't have peace anywhere
neither in Debian nor with upstream.
Also most complex Golang apps usually don't even get into "stable" due to
massive removals from "testing" on bugs in any of their dependency libraries
(direct or indirect). Stabilising the whole Golang ecosystem so few heavy
packages could migrate is a long effort but we are getting there...
