Subject: Stop pulling in netcat as a mandatory dependency. (#13787)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

It’s only used by a single exporter which is itself not in widespread
usage. Requiring users to install netcat themselves if they want to use
that exporter is not a significant burden, and not pulling it in
ourselves reduces our install footprint for ‘regular’ users without
really impacting usability for them.
