+# Import Path
+
+The name of the github repo is being changed from `go` to `go-codec`.
+This clarifies that this repo is only for the `go-codec`.
+
+However, this package has always had a stable import path of "github.com/ugorji/go/codec".
+We CANNOT change that without negatively affecting all our users.
+
+Consequently, we enforce this import path by specifying it in the following files:
+
+  - `go.mod`
+  - `codec/0_importpath.go`
+
+If you have a fork and want to change the package path, you will need to modify the above files.
