The path to resolution is known, but the work has not been done.
Milestone
In #16333 a user reported that they were unable to vendor code which the Go standard library itself vendored.
To "fix" the problem for the 1.7 release, we renamed the "$GOROOT/src/vendor/golang.org" directory to "golang_org" with an underscore, so it wouldn't conflict with users.
This is slightly annoying for us to maintain in the stdlib.
We should probably fix it properly in
go/build
and/orcmd/go
