Review comment:
       From what I can tell, the authors of OpenTelemetry don't really 
understand user configuration/bootstrapping very well, as they've not provided 
an easy mechanism to configure a specific implementation. They seem to have 
half of what is needed, but they didn't go far enough. I think that response 
about it being brittle is not correct. Yes, you can't force users to set it, 
but the whole point is that they *can* set it if they want to. This is where 
OpenTelemetry could have done a better job with configuration, so that they 
provide a mechanism to set it automatically outside of code. What is most 
important for our purposes is that the GlobalOpenTelemetry works out of the box 
as either a NOOP or an AutoConfiguration implementation, depending on the 
classpath, and that it is *possible* for an end user to do something to change 
it. We only need possible. That's not brittle... that's flexible... which is 
what we want for end users.
