But, again, I don't *want* a vendor directory, distro or otherwise.

vendor (and GOPATH) have always been a major PITA to assemble and
maintain (and I speak as the person, that wrote at least half of the
code that assembles and maintains them Fedora-side).

Ideally, I'd like proper shared libs, because rebuilding every dependent
on changes is an obstacle to robust security (you forget one rebuild and
poof, you're owned).

Go has supported -buildmode=shared on all major architectures for some time. I'm curious why nobody uses that yet.

Baring that, I'd settle for a directory of modules, which was what
GOPROXY was supposed to deliver, before Go upstream embarked in its mad
crusade to squeeze out anything between dev and production.
