If you need that change in those packages, it is just one time change
which will happen only once. If you were able to convince RPM maintainer
to introduce this unneeded dependency, I'm pretty sure you can convince
golang/gcc-go maintainers to introduce the virtual provide where it belongs.

I don't ming go-srpm-macros. That is perfectly fine, if it is BR of
package which needs it. But I don't want to have go-srpm-macros
installed on my system, because I'm quite sure I'm not going to build
any Go package any time soon and hence this is just cruft.
