A newer version of github.com/vmware/govmomi exists, but since this PR has been edited by someone other than Dependabot I haven't updated it. You'll get a PR for the updated version as normal once this PR is merged.

Hi!
We just realized that we haven't looked into this PR in a while. We're sorry!

We're labeling this issue as Stale to make it hit our filters and make sure we get back to it as soon as possible. In the meantime, it'd be extremely helpful if you could take a look at it as well and confirm its relevance. A simple comment with a nice emoji will be enough :+1.
Thank you for your contribution!

[botelastic]

Hi!
This PR has been stale for a while and we're going to close it as part of our cleanup procedure.
We appreciate your contribution and would like to apologize if we have not been able to review it, due to the current heavy load of the team.
Feel free to re-open this PR if you think it should stay open and is worth rebasing.
Thank you for your contribution!

[dependabot]

OK, I won't notify you again about this release, but will get in touch when a new version is available. If you'd rather skip all updates until the next major or minor version, let me know by commenting @dependabot ignore this major version or @dependabot ignore this minor version. You can also ignore all major, minor, or patch releases for a dependency by adding an ignore condition with the desired update_types to your config file.

If you change your mind, just re-open this PR and I'll resolve any conflicts on it.
