multiple telemetry designs

There are two telemetry / metric designs under review right now:

https://gerrit.openbmc-project.xyz/c/openbmc/docs/+/22257
https://gerrit.openbmc-project.xyz/c/openbmc/docs/+/24357

I would like to see one or both of them merged.  Neither seem to have any support….there is a single +1 on the latter review from Shawn McCarney.  If you support one of these designs, please go review it and indicate your support.

I also can’t figure out what the path forward for OpenBMC is.  Maybe to start with, we could all level set on where we are at with our thinking:

Kun: How far along are you in the implementation of your proposal?
Piotr: How far along are you in the implementation of your proposal?
James: OpenBMC can support one or both proposals.  If we support both, this means multiple implementations for the same thing in bmcweb.  One that gets data from dbus objects, and another that gets it from librrd.  As the maintainer of bmcweb are you open to accepting one or both of these options?

Without any discussion and resolution, I’m afraid both of these proposals are just going to sit here, unmerged, indefinitely.

thx - brad
