That's a good question - googling I found https://collectd.org/wiki/index.php/Plugin:Write_Prometheus, which says:
"This plugin is similar in scope to the collectd_exporter written by the Prometheus team and uses the same naming schema so it can be used as a drop-in alternative." So maybe we could indeed deprecate the Collectd Exporter. I'm just not familiar enough with Collectd to say for sure if the exporter is doing anything important over that plugin. +cc Florian Forster, who was involved in both - maybe you can provide more insight?
