I see you citing usb armory a lot, but I haven’t yet seen any acknowledgement that it too is a go fork. Not everything runs on that fork, some things need patching.

It’s interesting that you raise collaboration points here. When Russ was getting in go modules design he reached out and I made time for him giving him a brain dump of knowledge from working on ruby gems for many years and the bundler introduction into that ecosystem and forge deprecation/gemcutter transition, plus insights from having watched npm and cargo due to adjacencies. He took a lot of notes and things from that showed up in the posts and design. When fuchsia was starting to rumble about dropping go I reached out to him about it, hoping to discuss some of the key points - he never got back to me.
