To allow for updating extensions without collisions, we have moved to using a map type that can be explicitly selected via the field path for updates. This ensures that multiple parties can operate on their extensions without stepping on each other's toes or incurring an inordinate number of round trips.

This directory contains the GRPC API definitions for containerd.
All defined services and messages have been aggregated into *.pb.txt
descriptors files in this directory. Definitions present here are considered
frozen after the release.
At release time, the current next.pb.txt file will be moved into place to
freeze the API changes for the minor version. For example, when 1.0.0 is
released, next.pb.txt should be moved to 1.0.txt. Notice that we leave off
the patch number, since the API will be completely locked down for a given
patch series.
We may find that by default, protobuf descriptors are too noisy to lock down API changes. In that case, we may filter out certain fields in the descriptors, possibly regenerating for old versions.
This process is similar to the process used to ensure backwards compatibility in Go.
