The infrastructure to support this experimental tool hadn't been maintained. (get.golang.org)
We are now recommending golang.org/dl/* or, after go1.21, we have a better story.
Delete and remove it.

I think there's still a need for a tool like cmd/getgo -- the instructions for linux at https://go.dev/doc/install are surprisingly manual. Could we instead fix it?

Most of us didn't even know this existed. Especially with the new forward compatibility toolchain downloads, deleting it makes sense.

Based on the discussion above, this proposal seems like a likely accept.
— rsc for the proposal review group

The proposal is to deprecate and remove x/tools/cmd/getgo,
probably tagging it first so that existing references keep working.
