The tracking issue is here: https://github.com/golang/go/issues/17271 https://github.com/golang/go/issues/17271 Maybe? I think broadly the answer is yes, but not very soon. It'll probably be a timeline like: - Sometime between now and 1.10 / 1.11 - allow vendor outside of GOPATH - 1.11 / 1.12 - dep formally becomes part of the go toolchain - 1.12+ ?? - GOPATH stops existing or significantly changes form. I'm just speculating based on the progress of dep and the discussions in various issue trackers. Nothing is going into 1.9; it's not ready yet even as a candidate feature. 1.10 could see some changes, and beyond that there will definitely be some kind of changes. ...but probably not this year.
