Ah, I get the issue. Yes, the AUR package is a binary package; no, if it were moved to community I would not be downloading the release binary but instead building from source in accordance with the Go Package Guidelines [0]. I replied off-the-cuff while in a meeting and completely glossed over that aspect of the discussion.
