Plans for using JSpecify? Especially after Guava 33.4.8

[lobaorn-bitso]

Hi team, just a quick question, are there any plans regarding using JSpecify so the whole Java gRPC ecosystem may have those benefits?

We have been watching some of what's been happening with JSpecify with Guava and seeing how it works out. Adopting it does seem like it'd introduce compatibility problems, so we'd have to figure out how to handle those. We also want to have nullness checking in our build before adding real nullness annotations (unlike our current ones now that are essentially just documentation). And then there'd have to be a concerted effort to actually annotate a bunch of code.
