Honoring the parallelism, do the Go packages still build
deterministically? If not, the default should be still non parallel, as
it is for Haskell packages, IIRC. However, maybe there is room for a
package transformation ’--with-parallelism’ to easily turn on when speed
matters more than reproducibility.
All the best,
