I also took a look at the packages you maintain and intend on bringing into [community]. Most of those Go packages download vendor libraries on buildtime. The Go package guidelines [2] make no mention of vendoring so I'd like to get some clarification from someone else on whether or not this is kosher.
Go is in the same camp as with other modern languages like Rust. Devendoring libraries is simply (sadly?) too much effort to be reasonably handled by a distribution without spending a *lot* of effort on tooling to deal with it appropriately. It's not a good development but you would be fighting against the ecosystem. Completely kosher in other words :) -- Morten Linderud PGP: 9C02FF419FECBE16
