Description

@mostynb

I got a bazel-ci bug report that bazel-remote fails to build with the tip of bazel's master branch, because incompatible_use_toolchain_transition has been removed:
buchgr/bazel-remote#831

It looks like incompatible_use_toolchain_transition was removed from rules_pkg, and then added back because it broke builds using bazel 4.x. Is it time to remove it again?
