## Justifications for an update
Before you update a dependency, take a moment to consider why it should be
updated. Valid reasons include:
1. We need new functionality that is in a later version.
2. New or improved APIs in the dependency significantly improve Kubernetes code.
3. Bugs were fixed that impact Kubernetes.
4. Security issues were fixed even if they don't impact Kubernetes yet.
5. Performance, scale, or efficiency was meaningfully improved.
6. We need dependency A and there is a transitive dependency B.
7. Kubernetes has an older level of a dependency that is precluding being able
to work with other projects in the ecosystem.
## Theory of operation
The `go` toolchain assumes a global workspace that hosts all of your Go code.
