Description
When minor API versions deprecate fields or mark them fatal-by-default, config needs to be updated (or overidden in the Runtime). Newly deprecated and newly fatal fields can be difficult to reliably detect.
As suggested by @htuch, could we add a protoc plugin to produce machine-consumable lists for deprecated and fatal fields to make things easier?
