This const looks to only be there for "convenience", or _possibly_ was created with future normalization or special handling in mind. In either case, currently it is just a direct copy (alias) for runtime.GOOS, and defining our own type for this gives the impression that it's more than that. It's only used in a single place, and there's no external consumers, so let's deprecate this const, and use runtime.GOOS instead. Signed-off-by: Sebastiaan van Stijn <github@gone.nl> |

pkg/ is a collection of utility packages used by the Moby project without being specific to its internals.
Utility packages are kept separate from the moby core codebase to keep it as small and concise as possible. If some utilities grow larger and their APIs stabilize, they may be moved to their own repository under the Moby organization, to facilitate re-use by other projects. However that is not the priority.
The directory pkg is named after the same directory in the camlistore project. Since Brad is a core
Go maintainer, we thought it made sense to copy his methods for organizing Go code :) Thanks Brad!
Because utility packages are small and neatly separated from the rest of the codebase, they are a good place to start for aspiring maintainers and contributors. Get in touch if you want to help maintain them!
