RFC changes aside, the go community has been bit by unmaintained UUID libraries with security issues. Consider https://github.com/satori/go.uuid/issues/123 as a popular example.

The open issue in Google's repo about the package being malicious is not a good look. The community concluded it's a false positive. If the repo was maintained they'd confirm this and close the issue.

Maintaince is much more than RFC compliance, although the project hasn't met that bar either.
