If you're reading about this commit from an autogenerated changelog entry, this should have no user-visible impact on how the stubs are interpreted by a type checker; it's just an internal change to how typeshed's tests work.
This major version bump of the stubs package deletes google/__init__.py, which does not exist at runtime, and caused problems for several users. Mypy now has --namespace-packages enabled by default, which should hopefully mean that this causes minimal pain.

There are even newer versions available (4.*), but I had found a bug
in it which prevented it from working with mypy-protobuf. For now,
sticking to just 3.20.1
I'm not sure what the best way to do this is. This effectively orphans
types-typing-extensions, but maybe that's not really a problem. (We can
yank the package too)
