Dependencies on github.com/outcaste-io/ristretto v0.2.0 are failing

[jpkrohling]

Apparently, we have a dependency on a specific tag for the module "github.com/outcaste-io/ristretto", but that version does not exist. This has been failing for a few days for me, but it didn't fail on CI. When releasing contrib, it did fail again.

@jpkrohling is this a release blocker?

[jpkrohling]

Not really, I'm preparing the release with a change to the go.mod containing a "replace" directive.

DataDog/datadog-agent/pull/12992 got merged, but I can't upgrade the modules used here yet because of other issues.

There is a workaround for most users, which is to run:

go env -w GOPROXY="https://proxy.golang.org,direct"

to enforce usage of the official Go proxy. This is not available in certain regions (e.g. China) or when having certain network restrictions, so I recognize that this remains an issue even with the workaround and I am working so that we can remove this dependency.
