Reading the latest post, https://research.swtch.com/vgo-mvs , a question...

It feels to me like there's a missing 5th operation, in additions to the
one you proposed: "upgrade all my *direct* dependencies to their latest
version, but keep using minimal versions below that." I don't believe there
is an analog to this operation in the worlds of `go get` or `dep`, but I
think it might be an interesting middle-ground. I as the apex module
developer want to say "I'd like to use the latest versions of the things
I'm programming against, but I don't care about *their* dependencies –
please defer to the library authors's opinions for those."

First of all, am I reading correctly that this is not currently one of the
options you described? If so, do you think this additional option has
merit, compared to "upgrade the entire transitive closure to the absolute
newest things" ?


I'm still completely in love with this overall approach, and so far the
only quibbles I might have would be over syntax or equivalently unimportant
details. I sincerely hope that this becomes Go's package management
solution of choice, I'm already finding it unpleasant to operate in a world
where this isn't the way to do things :).
