Closed: Accepted by fale. Opened by amoloney.

Closed: Accepted
Reopen Issue

Update Protobuf to the latest version (5.x), and 6.x if it arrives in time before freeze in Q1 2025. Note that Protobuf's versioning is complicated, C++ and Python are at version 5, other language bindings at version 4, and they all embed the version of protoc; we are using the C++ version here so we can reference its support policy.

A compatibility package, protobuf
