Hi Michele,

The Akka patch should be safe. I’ve worked pretty extensively with the
2.6.x Akka series, and it should be fine to just update the gradle to bump
to 2.6.19. Unless there’s a breaking change in protobuf from 3.4 to 3.5
(which I highly doubt since I use proto with my Akka use as well) there
shouldn’t be any problem.

The continued use of Lightbend Akka is going to be a large discussion point
for the community whenever we meet in January as 2.6.19 is the last Apache
licensed version.
