In practice the author rarely changes the import domain/url so it's not really an nuisance. There are tools to fix imports if the unlikely case actually happens. I value the fact that I don't need config files to make it work more than this small possible inconvenience. There is also a `alias` feature in the upcoming version which allows the author to make the transition from one path to another even easier for clients. https://godoc.org/golang.org/x/tools/refactor/rename https://godoc.org/golang.org/x/tools/refactor/rename
