That seems crazy to me that a DNS client is broken after only 4 years due to incompatibility dependencies! I was going to suggest that maybe it's just completed

  Not sure why you're being downvoted, because this is how the JS and Python ecosystems are becoming as well. Obviously, there's a lot of innovation that's happening (or at least the authors think so), but it's still possible to move a package forward without breakage. It'd be great if communities could adopt the Go backwards compatibility promise[0] (it's best-effort, after all) so that packages continue to compile for a decade into the future and only introduce breaking changes for security reasons. It's actually not that difficult to do -- just needs to be made an important goal of any project, and it makes it much easier to trust the stability of the dependency. 0. https://go.dev/blog/compat https://go.dev/blog/compat
