-    <!-- Be careful here, especially to not import BOMs as io.zipkin.reporter2:zipkin-reporter and
-         zipkin-reporter-brave have this parent.
-
-         For example, if you imported Netty's BOM here, using Brave would also download that BOM as
-         it depends indirectly on io.zipkin.reporter2:zipkin-reporter-brave. As Brave itself is
-         indirectly used, this can be extremely confusing when people are troubleshooting library
-         version assignments. -->
