[jpelgrom]

Google is doing weird things with version numbers I'm not finding a good explanation for so far.

Project descriptions do say since this version

(API) DEPRECATED. This is a transitional empty artifact that merely pulls the cronet artifact. Depend on cronet directly instead.

(Embedded) DEPRECATED. This is a transitional empty artifact that merely pulls the cronet-bundled artifact. Depend on cronet-bundled directly instead.

Yet the other packages only have one release with the same 500 version number.
