Vendor independent build providence is certainly the long-term goal. In the immediate-term moving away from mystery tarballs towards version control gets us a step closer.

One of the best things about Golang is that packages are shared direct via source repositories (Github) rather than a package repository containing mystery tarballs. I understand the appeal of package repositories, but without proper security constraints it's a security disaster waiting to happen.
