We on the Go team team also muse about a Go 2.x occasionally (no concrete plans), but the number one rule would be not pulling a Python 3 or Perl 6 and fracturing the community in two.

If/when it happens, it won't be scary.

Maybe you guys could do like Java did and eventually drop the 1.x from the naming, leaving just the x, or do you see any issue with the perception of backwards compatibility?
