That’s for “production software” (as opposed to tooling I’d guess) in / of Fuschia itself. They’re saying that aside from netstack & stuff that only runs on the dev machines everything that’s in Go in the Fuschia repository must be migrated ASAP to an approved langage.
For end-developers it’s the same status as eg Rust: you’ll be on your own with no support from the fuschia project.
