This was done on purpose. Technically, grpc does not yet support protobuf 6.x. It still works, but outputs a lot of warnings when starting which is quite annoying. For each protobuf "pb2" module that buildstream imports (about a dozen), it says that protobuf is newer by a major version and that it would break in the future. I'd rather have a clear limitation on the dependency versions we support (and you're free to ignore it or patch it away if you know what you're doing) rather than have confused users complaining about the warning or about buildstream not working with the latest protobuf. I agree that it would have been better to discuss here first, but it seemed like an obvious thing to do. Cheers, Abderrahim
