opentelemetry-stackdriver includes the server feature, via the transport feature, which is included in default features.
This unnecessary feature brings in a large number of dependencies, including axum.

$ cargo tree -e features -p axum --invert
axum v0.7.9
└── tonic v0.12.3
    ├── tonic feature "channel"

The package should not include this dependency.

What component are you working with?

opentelemetry-stackdriver

Describe the solution you'd like:

tonic should not include the default features. Instead, it should include current features, except for server.

It looks feasible since 0.12.0, see hyperium/tonic#1574
