Ory Hydra Go SDK: module found but does not contain package (wrong import path)

TL;DR

Trying to use the Ory Hydra Go SDK per the docs with go get -u -d github.com/ory/hydra/sdk/go/... failed, and importing github.com/ory/hydra/sdk/go/hydra gave: module github.com/ory/hydra/sdk/go/hydra@latest (v0.0.1) found, but does not contain package github.com/ory/hydra/sdk/go/hydra.

Steps

1. Trying to use the Ory Hydra Go SDK per the docs with go get -u -d github.com/ory/hydra/sdk/go/... failed, and importing github.com/ory/hydra/sdk/go/hydra gave: module github.com/ory/hydra/sdk/go/hydra@latest (v0.0.1) found, but does not contain package github.com/ory/hydra/sdk/go/hydra. The documented import path does not exist as a package.
2. Do not import github.com/ory/hydra/sdk/go/hydra; that package does not exist. Import the client package directly, e.g. github.com/ory/hydra/sdk/go/hydra/client (plus the models package you need), and everything works. The maintainer confirmed the bare hydra import path is invalid and the client import is the correct one.

Expected: The maintainer confirmed the bare hydra import path is invalid and the client import is the correct one.
