...and yet, a vast majority of the instances where I see a go package 
hosted as "github.com/user/go-foobar", they are not using gopkg.in.

I'm w/ Dave on this one; except in very rare instances, this shouldn't be 
done (and even then, you should try find a way to avoid it).

Also, in many ways, this is a side effect of github's insistence that all 
their users live within a flat namespace.  (n.b. I once had Chris Wanstrath 
ask me which one feature I thought was missing from Github. I told him 
"global cross reference links". I should have said, "How about a 
hierarchical namespace?")
