[bug] OpenTelemetry Tracing resource merge error

Ah, thanks!

Would using

	httpconv "go.opentelemetry.io/otel/semconv/v1.20.0/httpconv"
	semconv "go.opentelemetry.io/otel/semconv/v1.21.0"

mismatch be an acceptable quick fix? I guess it technically makes the whole thing schema non-compliant and is not a future-proof solution but it makes traces show up correctly. I haven't found anything to replace httpconv, though I'm not really an OTel expert

Mmm I'm not sure, possibly... I'll try to have a fiddle with this before we do our next minor release.

I'm a bit surprised this is causing an issue. There's many versions of the semantic conventions and it shouldn't be a stretch for v1.21 of the library to still request things be emitted with the v1.20 conventions.

I can spend a bit on fixing this, but that's going to have to wait a week or two. Instead of trying to randomly cobble together a version of the conventions that sort of just happens to work, I'd suggest just rolling back the dependency to 1.20. We just update them from now and then, but there's no real need to do so here in this case. That would solve the immediate issue, and then we can spend some time fixing it in a future-proof way after.
