This is nothing like the RHEL/Fedora split. That split was done largely for monetary reasons and to help separate community from commercial. The Ubuntu project has expressly disavowed any such separation. Thus Gobuntu, which was created for ideological reasons, will be only a compliment to the existing Ubuntu releases.
