pkg/ is a collection of utility packages used by the Moby project without being
specific to its internals.

Utility packages are kept separate from the moby core codebase to keep it as
small and concise as possible. If some utilities grow larger and their APIs
stabilize, they may be moved to their own repository under the Moby
organization, to facilitate re-use by other projects. However that is not the
priority.

The directory `pkg` is named after the same directory in the camlistore project.
Since Brad is a core Go maintainer, we thought it made sense to copy his methods
for organizing Go code :) Thanks Brad!

Because utility packages are small and neatly separated from the rest of the
codebase, they are a good place to start for aspiring maintainers and
contributors. Get in touch if you want to help maintain them!
