Description
Hi!
Thank you so much for developing this tool.
Right now I'm using the Go Sops module in my project to decrypt my secrets. It works, but I'm noticing that it's pulling in 20MB+ worth of dependencies, it is by far the largest dependency in the project.
I think this is because sops pulls in all cloud vendor SDKs.
My question, or request, is: Would it be possible to have a slimmed down version for use with Go, for example a sops-age module, that contains only the subset needed to encrypt/decrypt sops using age, and has fewer dependencies?

Research direction
Start by reviewing the Go Sops module and its dependency graph, focusing on which cloud vendor SDKs are included alongside age encryption support. Define the smallest age-only module boundary and confirm that it still supports the requested Sops encryption and decryption behavior while reducing dependencies.
