@emdneto PTAL, I added separate tox targets for oldest+latest supported dependencies for `opentelemetry-proto` and `opentelemetry-exporter-otlp-proto-grpc`, generated with `uv pip compile`.

No worries, this was filing a bug for a sample related to my team. It's this sample https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/golang-samples/tree/main/run/custom-metrics

The opt-out change has been out for a while and I haven't heard any complaints. Maybe we can consider removing this in after the upcoming release.

I'll take this PR over, will try to address the comments soon
