With more outages of our amazing, but overly centralized development ecosystem, the popularity of this approach will likely surge. It helps that Go supports the vendoring workflow as it makes the choice practical. As for building with a flag: true, but very minor, as it's rare to execute 'go build' directly. In most projects I've seen, it's either Bazel, or some kind of "build.sh".
