Hi Oleg,

Thanks for having a look at this!

I don't believe you copied me in the last email so I didn't see your 
email when it went out.

pkg.go.dev gets its sources from proxy.golang.org, and pkg.go.dev 
focuses mainly on building and hosting documentation [1]. It doesn't 
expose an API for fetching version info [2].

We're already querying proxy.golang.org to get the latest version, and 
that response contains information about the sub-directory and git tag, 
so we may as well use it.

Kind regards,

Christina
