It sounds like you only get the breaking change in modules that require above a certain version of Go. So this should not break old code. It's perhaps more analogous to the way that "use strict" in JavaScript 'breaks' parsing of octal constants.

Then this seems fairly reasonable, given also how rarely things will depend on one way or the other.
