Comment #3 on issue 669 by d.vas...@gmail.com: Disabling backward
compatibility for some messages only
https://code.google.com/p/protobuf/issues/detail?id=669
We can always use message limits to drop messages which are larger in size.
Its better we have a explicit way to disable optional fields on some
message. There are some messaging framework which support this
functionality to avoid DoS attacks with optional fields. Example Microsoft
WCF has support for disabling extensible messages by not implementing
IExtensibleDataObject interface in a data contract.
