Before merging, I would double check if support for "Deprecate text format for profiling.data.format." was not fully removed by our endpoint. As I remember there were ~6 months grace period.

@Kielek, it is technically still supported.

As I remember there were ~6 months grace period.

When the period starts? I think once the deprecation is "released". Not if something is merged to main. In this case I would say that that it means that we should release our OTel distributions which supports pprof 6 months before the backend stops supporting it. Right now the GDI repositories' maintainers may not even been aware that text format is not recommended as there was no GDI spec release and I am not sure what distributions are supporting it and from when. Before removing it we should make sure that the users had 6 months to bump the distro.
