> also an option to fix the code to use the upgraded versions import path, are good ideas. In theory this sounds good but in practice major versions can be drastically incompatible, and I wouldn't expect this to work very well at all in practice. One of the excellent features Go's use of semantic versioning enables is for lower major versions to be updated to use the higher major version implementations, as a sort of backwards-compatible shim. In this case, no tools needed.
