Would it be sufficient to just ship the version string (but keep that trimmed prefix, good looking out) and let folks on the consumer side manage/mangle/parse the value as they see fit? I'm not sure Major or Minor have much utility in isolation.

I didn't see a way to report a string instead of a number, but I will look again

Yeah fair, I don't know the stats stack intimately so maybe it's just not a thing. Thanks for checking.

What if we put the version string in a tag, and set a gauge/counter to 1? Then you can sum by version tag.

Thank you for working on this. I've gone over this a bit, but I'm kind of torn on this implementation because while code that exists is generally preferable to code that doesn't, I'm still not convinced that this should be shipped as 3 separate values using gauges.
What you turned up from the procstats subpackage may be what we really need for our use-cases.

The first time you report any metric, additionally report the running Go version. Add two flags that can be used to disable this behavior.
