Go does ship a timezone zip file, but on Unix systems it defaults to reading the timezone files from the local system. See zoneSources in time/zoneinfo_unix.go. Go will only look in the zip file if the timezone information is not available locally. In any case the answer the original question is the same: when the timezone files update, Go will automatically adapt. Just like any other program on a Unix system.
