Hi!
Thanks for the contribution.
I am holding this change a bit while I get an understading on how go dep works

[im-kulikov]

@udhos maybe this is the best explaination https://golang.github.io/dep/docs/daily-dep.html

[udhos]

@im-kulikov It seems Go will replace dep with vgo: https://research.swtch.com/vgo

[im-kulikov]

@udhos nope... it's just experimental (research) proposal

[udhos]

It seems it is supposed to land as the official model:

"Even so, I'm sure there are details that are wrong. I hope our users will help us get this design right by trying the new vgo prototype and engaging in productive discussions. I would like Go 1.11 to ship with preliminary support for Go modules, as a kind of technology preview, and then I'd like Go 1.12 to ship with official support. In some later release, we'll remove support for the old, unversioned go get. That's an aggressive schedule, though, and if getting the functionality right means waiting for later releases, we will."

[im-kulikov]

vgo is experimental.. dep is used by many projects (official)

[udhos]

Dep is more widely used, yes, however it is experimental as well.

Russell Cox is clearly saying vgo is supposed to replace dep:

"Starting to experiment with vgo does not mean ending support for dep. We will keep dep available until the path to full go command integration is decided, implemented, and generally available. We will also work to make the eventual transition from dep to the go command integration, in whatever form it takes, as smooth as possible. Projects that have not yet converted to dep can still reap real benefits from doing so. (Note that both godep and glide have ended active development and encourage migrating to dep.) Other projects may wish to move directly to vgo, if it serves their needs already."

oh.. No comments.

just use what you want..

@udhos I would like to apologize if I offended you with my comment. nerves at work and I fell. hope for your understanding.

the fact is that the proposal you're talking about is being discussed and is experimental. in that time, dep has been used for more than six months on a variety of projects.
I understand that this is interesting, but for a stable product now, definitely not suitable.

in my message, I wanted to say that it is very strange to use an unstable proposal, which is still being discussed.
