* Gate `module_ctx.extension_metadata(reproducible = True)` usage behind a `bazel_features` check for compatibility with Bazel 6. * Use the "well-known" name `com_google_protobuf` instead of `protobuf` with WORKSPACE to avoid missing deps and duplication of protobuf targets.

This is going backwards. We'd like to stop calling com_google_protobuf and use Protobuf only. In case of bzlmod, this should be possible. WORKSPACE files might be more problematic. It'd probably be better to just remove Protobuf dependency. It seems that keeping it creates more problems than needed.

Yes, removing it would be better. Is that possible though?
I don't see much of a downside to using com_google_protobuf here for as long as the module supports WORKSPACE. The name is entirely internal to this module with Bzlmod and quite breaking when changed with WORKSPACE.

Removing it wouldn't break too many people. There are 2 levels. 1 to remove cc_proto_library. I only found 1 project on GitHub using it. 2 is to also remove cc_proto toolchain_type, without introducing an alias back to Protobuf (which I can't introduce until protobuf 29.0 is released)
