I'm not sure when it is OK to cause disruption in unstable. For example 
uploading new GCC seems to cause a lot of problems despite attempts to 
mitigate FTBFS.

Also do you have a clue why protobuf FTBFS on build servers? I'm unable to 
reproduce the problem...

Indeed. Yet protobuf-3 is long overdue and we absolutely must have it as its 
absence caused a lot of disruption on its own...

Apologies for inconvenience.
