[go-nuts] Re: go.mod necessary for GitHub package?
Sorry, I used an incorrect example. The final user is supposed to be in module mode and even if in GOPATH mode, the latest version is still compatible with the old version.

One example (not tested) is the case of a module X that depends on A and B. A depends on an old version of github.com/speedata/hyphenation, and B depends on a new version (that is compatible with the old version but has a new API). In GOPATH mode, X can not be built.

[go-nuts] Re: go.mod necessary for GitHub package?
OK, but what are the advantages for others? For my projects I use modules (locally) to have a list of dependencies with a checksum so builds could be reproducible. This works for remote packages with and without go.mod. What is the actual value for other users? Is this about versioning (semantic versioning)? Or is it easier to checksum?

The advantage of adding a go.mod file is not for you, but for people that will add your package as a dependency.
