I think when people say "works" they mean that tip builds.  The
outstanding bugs with the language on Plan 9 are still outstanding
(see the open issues), regardless of which Plan 9 you are running.

I think it's great if someone's programs work. I use a few go programs
(built with go 1.4.2 for both 386 and amd64) daily on 9front without
problems. That said, go 1.5.x (the language) fails to build on 9front/amd64,
but seems to build and work as well as 1.4.2 on 9front/386. The crucial
aspect here is what works and what doesn't work *after* go builds. I think
some people keep making cracks because some funfamental things remain
broken in all versions (see the open issues).

People who didn't notice tip no longer builds on some systems may
(like me) have been content running their existing working binaries.
Not everyone chases updates unless there is an immediate reason to
update.
