Despite being sarcastically phrased, the GP is very warranted. Google is so renowned for making breaking changes, there's a site to track not just their dead code, but their dead products:
I think experienced engineers have learned not to depend on Google a long time ago, and the GP is stressing that lesson: this is not "news" in that it happens _very_ frequently.
Also, for the company that invented the protobuf IDL, you'd expect them to maybe use swagger to catch these things in an automated fashion, if they have admitted it's a bug by accepting a support ticket for it.
