The issues list has a bunch of breaking changes they've put off to Go2. It won't come soon, but probably at some point they will produce a Go2, if only to fix a few small annoyances and things they got wrong in the stdlib which would otherwise break the Go1 pledge. Of course, that doesn't mean Go2 will introduce lots of huge changes to the language, I doubt very much it would, but it probably will happen sometime.

As another datapoint, here are the answers of the team to a question on what they dislike about Go1. These are mostly breaking changes which would require a Go2. I don't think anyone is hostile to it long-term, they're just not in a hurry. There is a huge value to developers in not having churn in an ecosystem and breaking changes, I and many others really value that and am pleased they take this approach.

So I think you've misinterpreted the above statement, it was probably an off hand remark in response to proposals for Go1 which would have radically altered the language (I can find no ref to it on the web, 0 results for that phrase).
