I see this working for modules, but not major versions. For example the whole github.com/golang/protobuf module is deprecated:
https://github.com/golang/protobuf/blob/75de7c059e36b64f01d0dd234ff2fff404ec3374/go.mod#L1 However, there are is no deprecation message for github.com/google/go-github : https://github.com/google/go-github/blob/b603120bf932e99e8cc0a9fab0693fa6b5f92c4d/go.mod Is there any way for google/go-github add a deprecation message for their v0/v1/.../v60 major versions?
