   Hello @bgoldman-videoamp,
   
   Thank you for reporting this. We are currently working on the release process of this package and your feedback is really welcome.
   
   ### Out of think submodule
   
   I think the intent of this top level module was to have a way to actually test the client, using [client_test.go](https://github.com/apache/airflow-client-go/blob/main/client_test.go). As you can see in the [go.mod](https://github.com/apache/airflow-client-go/blob/main/go.mod) it also depends on `testify` test library, so this will also add this unnecessary dependency to your project. There is no reason for airflow client to require this extra test dependency for production. (or add test code etc.)
   
   You can install directly the submodule:
   ```
   go get github.com/apache/airflow-client-go/airflow/@latest
   ```
   
   In this testing context, it explains why the top level dependency was almost never updated, the `replace` directive was enough for it to work as expected.
   
   Nonetheless it is really easy to update it, here is a PR for that, also adding install instructions https://github.com/apache/airflow-client-go/pull/42 
   
   ### II Tags Convention
   We followed the same tagging strategy that we use for airflow core and other api clients. Indeed, for Go It looks like tag needs to start with `v...` to be recognized as version for most tools. For now you can still use the hash commit to install a specific tag if needed (`go get github.com/apache/airflow-client-go/airflow/@<hashcommit>`), but we might want to change the way we tag release for Go client.
   
   I will open a separate PR to suggest this change.
   
   Thanks
