I hope this apology and acknowledgment of the problems in the process appease Sam. By and large he has been the one to driving the last resistance to adoption of go modules and I can't help but think most of that is just investor's dilemma.

At this point it would be great to no longer be talking about whether go modules should be the thing but working together towards making them work for everyone. (which I don't think is far off actually, Russ and co have done a good job post-reveal of addressing use cases that break with modules)
