If we start making breaking changes to annotation proto, I'd revisit the whole thing, because it is based on / designed around concepts we don't want remove (annotations). If would be great to design a nice clean proto message for builds.

This issue has been Available for over a year. If it's no longer important or seems unlikely to be fixed, please consider closing it out. If it is important, please re-triage the issue.

Sorry for the inconvenience if the bug really should have been left as Available.

I believe we won't make any changes to this in favor of going forward with buildbucket v2.
