+  ``github.com/golang/protobuf`` has released version 1.3.0. Code generated
+  with this version is *not* compatible with 1.2.0 (which rules_go is still
+  using). The next major rules_go release will include protobuf 1.3.0.
+  If you need to upgrade sooner (for example, because a dependency has
+  already generated code with 1.3.0), follow the instructions at
+  `Overriding dependencies`_.
