In other words:
- net/http handles HTTP
- go-proxyprotocol handles the proxy protocol
- you combine the two to get the behaviour you want
Orthogonal pieces which handle their own responsibilities are a Good Thing™
IMO.
If you want to wrap this up in a library which has the same API as net/http
but implements proxy protocol, you are free to do so (and publish it, if
you wish). However, there is a very high bar for putting functionality into
the core Go library, because the backwards compatibility promise means it
has to be supported forever.

I think that answers your question.
