I have also been surprised by this behaviour. I'd be keen to hear rationale for it, as I (no doubt naively) can't imagine why it isn't always the correct decision to remove all unneeded dependencies in go.mod when 'go mod tidy' is run. Indeed, I'd say that the name 'tidy' implies "remove unneeded stuff" more than "add needed stuff". -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
