Yeah, I've missed that... Also I don't expect to be able to recognise all 
dependency packages by name and respond promptly to prevent their removal...

Anyway I guess my frustration is more about how packages are being removed in 
general -- not just this particular one.

Maybe we need some sort of delay and wider announcement for packages that are 
tagged for removal to give prospective maintainers opportunity for 
adoption... Or maybe removal could begin with RC-critical bug to drop 
packages from "testing" first...

No worries, golang-bindata was just re-introduced. All good.
