Howdy,

In Nov 2020 
<https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf/commit/5c028d6cf42e426d47f5baa6ea3f0f5c86b97beb>
 
protobuf reserved the namespace `pb` for protobuf to move to in the future (
https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf/blob/bd9a7104e11740e4bcfbde46c190c2d908ef331a/src/google/protobuf/port.h#L42-L44).
  
This is very problematic for us as all of our protobufs are in the `pb` 
namespace and breaks our ability to upgrade.  This seems to be quite a 
common pattern in the industry - 
https://github.com/search?l=Protocol+Buffer&p=1&q=%22package+pb%22&type=Code
 .

If at all possible can we roll back that change?  I suspect it has the 
potential to break a huge number of users beyond just us.

Thanks,
Roy
