"The main intent of introducing proto3 is to clean up protobuf before pushing the language as the foundation of Google's new API platform"

Does anyone know if this means Google's public APIs will be proto3 based? I quite like protobufs.

They've been experimenting[1] with exposing Google Cloud Platform APIs over gRPC (which is powered by proto3), so it seems quite likely.
