True. For the record I like the Rust model a lot more (obviously, as a contributor, I should); but what I'm saying is that there's a tradeoff and both have their good parts. The moment you're open to some community decision making, you're expected to be open to all of it -- Go doesn't get much flak from the community for unilateral decisionmaking. I bet it would if it started to allow some community consensus on some decisions. And like I said, the "let the community decide everything" model probably wouldn't work for Go, so unilateral it is :)
