Yes and no, because Thomas Perale changed all packages using Go to use
host-goc instead of host-go, while my series keeps host-nodejs but
changes it from host-generic-package to host-virtual-package.

Also, I'd like to recap the naming we have:

 - Rust (existing)
   virtual package: 		host-rustc
   pre-compiled package:   	host-rust-bin
   from source package:         host-rust

 - NodeJS (proposed by me)
   virtual package:             host-nodejs
   pre-compiled package:        host-nodejs-bin
   from source package:         host-nodejs-src

   The odd thing here being that host-nodejs is a virtual package, but
   nodejs is a regular package building NodeJS from source for the
   target.

 - Go (proposed by Thomas Perale)
   virtual package:		host-goc
   pre-compiled package:        host-go-bin
   from source package:         host-go

So Thomas aligned on the naming used in the Rust world. I must say I do
have a preference for the naming I have chosen for NodeJS, which IMO is
clearer.
