This is a cool idea, and I love the convenience of deploying a single-binary app when using Go for servers.

When deploying web servers, though, I'd prefer to leave the images and other static resources out of my binary, because this means I can use an rsync-based deployment with --copy-dest and --link-dest. --copy-dest means that deployments are blazingly fast (I only have to copy changed files) and --link-dest means that deployments are cheap on space (unchanged files are hardlinked to the copies). Granted, bandwidth and storage are cheap and getting cheaper, but it still adds up, particularly for large server clusters.
