Thanks - I believe the list is actually larger, from when I last looked
at this:

- devel/go-goptlib
- devel/go-sys
- devel/go-tools
- net/go-net
- security/go-crypto
- security/go-ed25519
- security/go-siphash
- textproc/go-text

All of these are seriously dated and if anyone uses binaries from these
they're likely using 'go install'. And if someone wants it packaged then
it needs to be updated (and sufficiently maintained), in which case it
will use modules and hence not the current deps.

I can't comment on the exact process, but I'm very much ok with removing
all of these, if you could add them to the list.
