This library is provided as a convenience to install all supported OpenTelemetry Collector Exporters. Currently it installs:

* opentelemetry-exporter-otlp-proto-grpc
* opentelemetry-exporter-otlp-proto-http

In the future, additional packages will be available:
* opentelemetry-exporter-otlp-json-http

## AI interpretation — verify before relying

A convenience metapackage that installs OpenTelemetry's OTLP Collector exporters for gRPC and HTTP protocols, enabling applications to send observability data to OpenTelemetry Collectors.

Verdict: Production-stable metapackage (Apache-2.0) with active maintenance and no known vulnerabilities. Recommended for projects needing OTLP export; users should consider installing specific exporter variants directly once their protocol preference is determined to reduce unnecessary dependencies.
