What are you going to do for APIv3?

Version it as google.golang.org@v2? google.golang.org@v3 (but @v2 doesn't exist)? Release an @v2 which is identical to @v1?

We used up our breaking change budget for the next decade with this release, so we'll think about it in 2030.

Admit it, once Windows 22 is out the door, protobuf 1.22 is shippin' as well! Yieehaaw!

Rust .22 with breaking changes, will be breaking 4 years after that as well!
