 It does not do nothing, in fact it does a really bad thing which is
that we now have different package result for all go ports that what is
currently in the package repo (official or not).
 Also since the builder always bulk -c (I think) this means that if a
user install whatever go package today and another user install the same
package after the next build they will have different package. And if
this go update actually fixes a bug that is present in this package it
means that the first user will have the bug and not the second one, so
it causes headache for PR.
