Judging from this thread Go users are regularly using various tricks and hacks to avoid the compiler errors. So evidently Go programmers can't be trusted to handle compiler errors responsibly and not use hacks to hide them. In which case, what is the point of making in an error? It just makes things more difficult for the responsible programmers who don't ignore warnings (instead of a warning that they will notice they have to find and remove an obscure line of code). It was an interesting experiment to make these things errors only, but it's clear that it has failed.
