I'm happy to review/sponsor if you think it's sane! To be clear, you're talking about adding a new "gccgo-go" virtual binary package to "src:golang-defaults" which satisfies requests for "golang-go" via Provides (and thus also provides "/usr/bin/go" via alternatives or Conflicts)? Will this simplify the logic behind "golang-any"? ♥, - Tianon 4096R / B42F 6819 007F 00F8 8E36 4FD4 036A 9C25 BF35 7DD4
