It's very clear that the reason these kinds of proposals haven't been accepted has nothing to do with the core team not believing they're important enough, but instead because of the impact that they have on the rest of the language.

What impact in your opinion?

  Immutability is a fundamental property of a language, it's not something that can be bolted on post-facto in a version update. Go as a language doesn't provide immutability.

    If the "for ;;" loop semantics can be bolted on post-facto in a version update, nothing else couldn't. Go provides certain immutability.

      It does not. Believe what you will.

        You are not familiar with Go.
