While doing so, I've encountered that those new versions really require updated versions of golang-grpc and protobuf. I've been looking at that set of packages last month, see the thread starting at [1]. The situation is not pretty.
My takeaway is that we need to update a large number of packages at the same time, starting with src:golang-google-genproto and src:golang-google-grpc. This will unblock a number of packages that are currently in experimental, and will allow them to enter unstable. However, this comes with the risk of breaking other packages.
I've been chasing down the stack of dependency fairly far, but I feel I'm reaching my capacity of how far I'm able to push this transition. I'm therefore requesting help from the Debian release and golang teams. It is simply not feasible for me to backtest that large amount of packages. I've been going through that stack all the way to podman 5.0.3, and can tell that it is feasible for us as a project. I'm asking for your expertise on what's the best way to get this project through.
I'd like to have these transitions coordinated so that we can minimize the disruption for testing. Dear Release Team, please have a look at let me know what you think. When would be a good time for me (or anyone else) to start the transition? What kind of information would be useful for that decision making?
For your convenience, I believe the following listing is a good starting set of packages to look at:

Found a total of 134 reverse build-depend(s) for golang-google-genproto-dev.
Unfortunately, I won't be able to make it to Busan this year. It would be amazing if these transitions could be discussed in person and a plan could be devised that would end with trixie shipping a modern version of docker and related packages.
Thank you so much for your help and interest.
