+Nota bene: The use of `go_sdk.host()` [may break builds](https://github.com/enola-dev/enola/issues/713) whenever the host Go version is upgraded
+(because many OS package managers, such as Debian/Ubuntu's `apt`, distribute Go into a directory which contains the version, such as `/usr/lib/go-1.22/`).
+As package upgrades happen outside of Bazel's control, this will lead to non-reproducible builds. Due to this, use of `go_sdk.host()` is discouraged.

 You can register multiple Go SDKs and select which one to use on a per-target basis using [`go_cross_binary`](rules.md#go_cross_binary).
 As long as you specify the `version` of an SDK, it will be downloaded lazily, that is, only when it is actually needed during a particular build.
 The usual rules of [toolchain resolution](https://bazel.build/extending/toolchains#toolchain-resolution) apply, with SDKs registered in the root module taking precedence over those registered in dependencies.
