nothing compiles any more!

i seem to be being forced to add, to some projects 9 years old 
(unnecessary) module support, or, add notes to all their docs that they 
need to be compiled in versions older than 1.16, or have to have an obscure 
parameter set.

there really wasn't a non-breaking way to do this?

seems to me this has effectively become part of the language and should be 
implemented in accordance with the go1 backward compat. guarantee. what 
difference does it make to a user when things stop compiling like this.
