Maybe it's just me (and projects like the Stripe SDK and Blackfriday), but 
that's exactly what I would expect. Building source files is subject to build 
constraints, generating a go.mod isn't (or shouldn't be; unless there's some 
reason I'm missing why you'd want a go.mod file that's specific to an 
individual build with all its constraints?).
