I think he is pointing out the problem I’ve asked about many times that using 
the specified import path so ‘go get’ works is a problem. If I want to move my 
repos to another account all referencing code breaks. 

The import paths need a logical reference. 

Think Java and package names. The package name remains constant, where it is 
located/retrieved from changes all the time (classpath)

I am assuming I’ve always misunderstood this, but nothing that was ever stated 
cleared it up, so I just went with, well I guess I don’t understand and move 
along...
