 - Remove deprecated OpenTelemetry integration classes and the legacy `SentrySpanStorage` ([#6243](https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-java/pull/6243))
 - Decide whether foregrounding the app starts a new session on a monotonic clock instead of the wall clock, so that a device time change no longer starts a session that should have been resumed, or resumes one that should have ended. This affects session counts ([#6096](https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-java/pull/6096))
