+  The <code>go</code> <code>mod</code> <code>vendor</code> subcommand now
+  supports a <code>-o</code> flag to set the output directory.
+  (Other <code>go</code> commands still read from the <code>vendor</code>
+  directory at the module root when loading packages
+  with <code>-mod=vendor</code>, so the main use for this flag is for
+  third-party tools that need to collect package source code.)
