Don't couple your Go code to GitHub

    This tries to solve the hypothetical problem of a library designer moving their codebase to another domain and breaking imports. But, this rarely happens in practice, so unless you plan to move hosting in advance, it may not be necessary.

    That said, in the normal run of things you can mark your last release on e.g. github as deprecated, leave a note that it's moved to xyz, and wait for the users to migrate themselves. Migrating is fairly trivial in that it's a find / replace.
