I think Binary-only packages are very important for Go's Eco,  something 
like maven(Java) & sbt(scala)

- all it's dep packages should save in the same repo,  together, like a 
snapshot, or similar concept like docker image
- use a manifest file to list all the dep package's name and version

it's ok that when the binary release, it was compiled with a older version 
of Go; and after that, no body maintain it and cannot compile by newer 
version's Go.

if it just can run and still works good in a living OS, it should stay in a 
global repo and let people can download and use it.
many system don't need update for many years after release, and impossible 
to recompile all it's libraries against newer compilers.
