[pkg-go] FYI: “Go += Package Versioning” by Russ Cox

[Michael Stapelberg]

How precisely would we ship multiple versions? We still have only 1 orig
tarball, and one upstream branch.

I updated the document: I think we need to switch from packaging upstream
repositories to packaging upstream modules. I think the “multiple versions”
situation doesn’t change: we can ship multiple major versions today (as
long as they use a different import path, which is customary and even
required by vgo), and can do the same with vgo.
