I am glad to see this. The vendored-dependency approach has made my
maintenance of Fedora's Hugo package much easier. Gone is the dread
that each version of Hugo will require multiple package reviews of new
Go dependencies. Thank you!

Yet I do worry about some packages. The golang-modernc series, for
example, has a number of idiosyncrasies that I would not want each
application packager to have to relearn.

Is there a way to establish exceptions to the leaf-implies-retirement
rule?

Is there a way for an otherwise vendored-dependency application to make use of
external Go packages when there are exceptional circumstances?
