❔ question: ‏Can we ever plug org 2 telemetry into it to get internal telemetry from the users? I'm not even sure. Even though, that won't be available to all contributors, only the Datadog ones. And I would not advocate for help contributors can't get.

Fair question. It's relevant for the audience of this project (Java devs in companies that work with Datadog) rather than this project directly. We want to raise awareness of the Datadog plugin, because it has really useful features for Java developers, so this seems like one reasonable avenue. I can totally accept a rejection on the PR though, I understand where you are coming from.

I don't think the plugin (when used within Datadog) is seeing telemetry from the Java tracer. Ping me some details about what you collect and how, and I can take a look.
