Yet another great write up!
I see the appeal of a Go OS where things are fairly standardized: one good way to do a thing, one way to format code, one way to get packages, one toolchain (main).
This is not necessarily about what you are trying to do, but I'm a greedy man. I don't just want an OS written in Go. I want it to be a widely adopted one. There are so many challenges, some seem impossible to get around, but I'm still hopeful. I'm looking forward to go through this journey via your write ups!
Good text. One ipon from Russia!)) Im select Oberon (from Niclaus Wirt) -- its ideal language for writng OS. Im think wath Go -- its bad Oberon with channels.

I couldn't find a way to contact you, and had to make a bleeding account here to comment... There appears to be a misattribution in your penultimate paragraph. Rob Pike has done many things,but wasn't it Ken Thompson who wrote "Reflections on Trusting Trust"?
