Description
Description of the new feature / enhancement
Not sure if this is a bug or a feature, but there were PR's for GoLang.Go created with fewer installer nodes.
- Older Version with all Nodes - https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs/pull/115479
- Newer version with fewer Nodes - https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs/pull/116072
While there are times that using fewer nodes is expected, such as when architectures are discontinued, these situations are fairly rare and should either throw a warning or only be valid in the interactive flow

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Begin by locating the upgrade flow that compares installer URLs, then determine how warnings are handled; done means upgrades with fewer URLs warn the user or are restricted to the interactive flow, while expected architecture removals remain supported.
