I'm not sure how this would work for changes that would affect a whole program.

For instance, say Go wanted to introduce a moving GC, and say that required removing interfaces as map keys. How could a function that returned a map[interface{}]int in one module be called from another that was compiled with a later version of Go?

Would the whole program would have to be compiled with the non-moving GC?

Perhaps the answer is that Go would never introduce such a change.
