Hello- The Open Container Initiative is investigating use of protobuf for use for filesystem and container metadata. Part of the goal is to make this metadata signable. However, we learned that protobuf binary serialization are not deterministic between implementations: https://groups.google.com/a/opencontainers.org/d/msg/dev/xo4SQ92aWJ8/ad1-xm9qCAAJ
Is there any hope of that being tackled in protobuf3 or there being at least a mode to say "I really want the deterministic serialization"? It isn't a huge blocker for us but it does mean the same spec serialized in a python tool and java tool MAY be different which is a bit annoying.
