For me at least, the reluctance comes from the new proposal process not having yet proved itself for large backwards-incompatible features. I want to be assured that a Go with generics is a Go with a really well-integrated feature, and not some grafted mutant appendage whose only real purpose is to appease the greater community.
It's great that they're trying out the process on smaller, more simple proposals. My hope is that this system will either produce really good features, or reveal that there are simply no satisfying solutions.
