hey Ian, long time. Is there any chance y'all could swap out main so that main contains the generated code version?

I don't know the status on those export tools these days as I left the company years ago, but if they could sync with a different branch.

This would help various folks quite a bit, as for example tsnet users often fall into the trap of trying to do `go get -u`, which then pulls a non-functional gvisor version.

I don't work on gVisor anymore. That said, I think it would be a tough sell. It would be a pretty big breaking change. Also, there is already a problem with people trying to send patches against the go branch and making it the default would make that much worse.

I think the solution is an automatically exported repository at a different path. Kind of (or maybe exactly) like what Tailscale/bradfitz used to maintain.
