-## I got some run-time errors about invalid proto descriptors when using `ProtocolMessageEquals`. Help!
-
-{: .callout .note}
-**Note:** `ProtocolMessageEquals` and `ProtocolMessageEquiv` are *deprecated*
-now. Please use `EqualsProto`, etc instead.
-
-`ProtocolMessageEquals` and `ProtocolMessageEquiv` were redefined recently and
-are now less tolerant of invalid protocol buffer definitions. In particular, if
-you have a `foo.proto` that doesn't fully qualify the type of a protocol message
-it references (e.g. `message<Bar>` where it should be `message<blah.Bar>`), you
-will now get run-time errors like:
-
-```
-... descriptor.cc:...] Invalid proto descriptor for file "path/to/foo.proto":
-... descriptor.cc:...]  blah.MyMessage.my_field: ".Bar" is not defined.
-```
-
-If you see this, your `.proto` file is broken and needs to be fixed by making
-the types fully qualified. The new definition of `ProtocolMessageEquals` and
-`ProtocolMessageEquiv` just happen to reveal your bug.

 ## My death test modifies some state, but the change seems lost after the death test finishes. Why?
