I will respond to your points below, but first, I take offense to your
accusation of me being lazy especially since it seems pretty obvious you
didn't attempt to research my work before you said it.

Done.

Already done. If you look at the packages I have been doing this conversion for
so far, you would see that most of them are maintained by myself, zac or
not maintained at all.

No one has had issues with me doing the work myself, so that is what has
been happening. Also, keep in mind that there was a public announcement
made on this list about migrating go packages to the go-module eclass,
and no one spoke out then against it.

There's only one I have masked so far and that was per the maintainer. I
did post the lastrites but it looks like I need to forward it to -dev or
re-post it, I will take a look again after I respond to this message.
