spring-boot-starter-opentelemetry
auto-configures the OTel SDK but having it on the classpath does not produce any outputs.
To simplify Boot's OpenTelemetry story, would it make sense to make the OTel starter a one-stop-shop for OpenTelemetry integration? So that users would only need to the starter and they would get auto-configuration to the OTel SDK and data published in OTLP format from Spring's own instrumentation (Micrometer's OTLP registry, Micrometer Tracing's OTel bridge and OTel's OTLP exporter in addition to the OTel SDK).
This would make the starter more opinionated but it would also make things simple for users since they only need to add the starter and they will get OTLP output.
