We depend on pbjs for some things. protobufjs 7.0.0 has been released, and doesn't contain this, a new package, protobufjs-cli, contains it. I think our dependency on protobufjs is a minimum version so we may find users being automatically upgraded to this, and then protobuf compilation will break saying pbjs or pbts can't be found.
