Yes, I don't mind if it shows up in the index. I have nothing to hide.

That just seems wasteful and clutterish. If too much of that occurs, the index could be littered with it. Sort of like old PGP keys that never go away.

Thank you for this. It seems they've thought of almost everything we do.

This is probably a dumb question, but here goes... I'm testing go modules with an internal project that uses a private github.com repo. It depends on other public go packages and modules is nice to manage those but the general public will probably never see or want to use this code.

Are modules in private repos impacted by this in any way? Would they show-up in the index somehow?

Stop parroting these criticisms of OpenPGP without offering concrete, working replacements that are widely adopted and have open standards.

Some kid recently tried to have OpenPGP support deprecated from Golang's crypto-x package. And that's fine, but do not pull stunts like this without offering a concrete, working and widely adopted replacement. Otherwise, they are just that, publicity stunts with a lot of sound and fury but no solution. That's not helpful to anyone.

A more mature thing to do would be to suggest deprecation in 3 to 5 years and offer a plan of how to get there with other specific tools (some of which do not exist today).

If you have only ever worked a 9 - 5 work week this may come as a surprise, but in the real world in America, lots of highly paid people routinely work weekends and nights and 12 or even 24 hour shifts. Doctors, Police Officers, Morticians, Firefighters, etc. They use schedules to spread the work and many only get one weekend off a month of totally free time.

Perhaps he means test and set?

Or the more efficient test and test and set?
