Obvious reason why shipped Go binary tarballs aren't stripped?

Is the main Go binary debugging information necessary by default to all users of Go? Shouldn't the binary distributions be stripped?

Sometimes a stripped binary is preferable and sometimes

the debug information is valuable.

As a stripped binary does not offer much general benefit

but being able to see what went wrong in case of problems

is useful in most situations: Why change the default to stripped?
