In theory, descriptor.proto could become "lite", and this might simplify bootstrapping. In practice, though, we actually use "heavy" features on the types in descriptor.proto, which is part of the reason why bootstrapping is so complicated. So, no, I don't think that would work. > > > Jon > > > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Protocol Buffers" group.
