In maven and gradle, for example, at least by default they choose the highest versions allowed. Even if no version range is used, it picks the highest choice even across major versions, which I always thought was completely broken. What does go do if you have two transitive dependency versions whose allowed major is different?
In some sense, Go does not allow you to change the major version. Packages with the same name but different major versions are treated as different packages.
