Opentelemetry

[ceramicv]

When I issued the go install github.com/danielmiessler/yt@latest to install yt, I noticed that it downloaded a bunch of opentelemetry files - what are these being used for? ::

GO has telemetry installed in the language by default, though I believe it is only active if it is declared active.
