......@@ -160,9 +160,9 @@ is the package's default name for imports.
Go's convention is that the package name is the last element of the
import path: the package imported as <code>"crypto/rot13"</code>
should be named <code>rot13</code>.
At the moment, the Go tools impose a restriction that package names are unique
across all packages linked into a single binary, but that restriction
will be lifted soon.
There is no requirement that package names be unique
across all packages linked into a single binary,
only that the import paths (their full file names) be unique.
