There are several reasons you can find on this mailing list and other
public forums, many are about tooling support, where some don't support
relative path all that well, to me, it's about being explicit about what
you depend on. when I import the full path, I can then copy that import and
the related code to another package and it will wok, but if I start playing
into the relative path import, I have to adjust it to make it point to the
correct place.

Go is very diff than many other languages, good practices there don't
always translate to Go's good practices, this being one of them.
