* Protobuf serialization does not distinguish between `[]` and `null`.
API fields previously capable of storing and returning either `[]` and `null` via JSON API requests (for example, the Endpoints `subsets` field)
can now store only `null` when created using the protobuf content-type or stored in etcd using protobuf serialization (the default in 1.6).
