Description

Anyone writing a Go application that wishes to use Envoy protos will need a stable release of this repo. In case you are not aware, proto definitions cannot be generated independently by libraries, since multiple versions of the generated code for a single message that make their way into the same binary will cause a panic at init time. And without a stability guarantee, use of this repo as the official source of the protos is risky. Please create a stable v1.x release of this repo ASAP. Thank you.
