     Automated rollback of commit

Incompatible changes:

  - this incompatible change breaks old instances of http_archive
    that specified netrc as an absolute path. It is unlikely there
    are many instances in the wild since the path would refer to a
    netrc file inside the external repository by absolute path.
    Migration should be straightforward.
  - genrule switched to use exec transition instead of host. This can
    break targets with hardcoded output paths. To avoid using
    hardcoded paths use make variables, see
    https://docs.bazel.build/versions/4.2.2/be/make-variables.html#pre

Important changes:

  - Deprecate --incompatible_applicable_licenses flag, in preparation
    for removal in Bazel 6.x.
  - Treat py_*.srcs_version="PY2" the same as "PY2ONLY".
  - The Build Event Protocol now contains file digests and sizes
    along with the file name and URI.
  - Refactor system suspend event handling.
  - alias() can now select() directly on constraint_value()
  - Allow \a \b \f \v escape sequences in Starlark.
  - Match remote and local xcode version by most granular version.
  - Adds `--experimental_worker_multiplex_sandboxing` flag that
    controls whether to sandbox multiplex workers that support it.
