Re: netdata-2.6.3 conflicts with netdata-go-0.58.1_9 (installs files into the same place)

netdata-go should probably be removed
Back in netdata 2.0 the go plugin was integrated into the the CMake build system, and it was extremely hard to split the build into two packages.
Basically GOPLUGIN replaces netdata-go.
I'm unsure who should take the decision as I don't maintain -go.
