GO15VENDOREXPERIMENT=1 will be default behaviour in Go 1.6. So you don't have to rewrite the import paths anymore.

What's wrong with that?

Vendoring external dependencies adds a lot of noise to your git history. Especially with github's UI it's easy to miss an important change because of skipping trough the vendor changes or getting the "too many changes to display" message.

This is my concern as well. Is it possible to use git submodules in vendor directory? Looks like it is possible [1].
