If it’s bad enough, why not release a v2 of the library?

The standard library seems to only be versioned with the language. An external v2 could work, but I’m not sure there’s any precedent for a v2 of a standard library package.

urllib/urllib2 in Python is one example. There are others; it's not really unprecedented.

There is no precedent in Go. It's been discussed a few times here and there, but real plans AFAIK.
