Since Go 1.11 was released several issues related to mixing vgo and go 1.11 have been logged, eg, #27562

I propose that vgo should be changed to work only with versions of Go in the range [1.10.3,1.11)

We did intend for vgo to remain a kind of "preview of next cmd/go" if needed. I don't know that we really want to cut off 1.11. Especially since vgo right now is basically exactly "the go 1.11 cmd/go".

Talked with @bcmills. Plan is that vgo will stay as it is. There is benefit to letting vgo work with both 1.10 and 1.11, so that it's OK to use vgo and update to 1.11 without changing all the mentions of vgo. But moving on, vgo will not be updated. Once Go 1.12 is out, Go 1.10 will be deprecated, at which point all supported versions of Go will have module support. Then we can remove vgo entirely (maybe a month or so after the Go 1.12 release).

@bcmills - A CL which removes all code will still keep the repo. I guess it will be better for someone with admin permissions to remove the the git repo altogether at https://go.googlesource.com/vgo/.
