Brace for a wave of drive-by pull-requests swapping google/uuid [1] out for the now-standard uuid package [2].

Kubernetes project will be the first one [3] I guarantee it.

[1] https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/google/uuid

[2] https://go.dev/pkg/uuid

[3] https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/blob/2220c3853a2402...

[4] https://github.com/google/uuid/issues/221

Unfortunately for people SELECTing UUIDs out of a DB directly into a uuid struct, the built-in uuid structs don't implement the necessary interface for that, so you'll have to continue using the google package, or a plain string.

will 'go fix' take care of this?
