Given the sensitive nature of this information, SDKs and exporters SHOULD drop these attributes by
default and then provide a configuration parameter to turn on retention for use cases where the
information is required and would not violate any policies or regulations.

## General thread attributes

These attributes may be used for any operation to store information about
a thread that started a span.

| Attribute name | Notes and examples |
|----------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `thread.id` | Current "managed" thread ID (as opposed to OS thread ID). E.g. `42` |
| `thread.name` | Current thread name. E.g. `main` |

Examples of where `thread.id` and `thread.name` can be extracted from:

| JVM | `Thread.currentThread().getId()` | `Thread.currentThread().getName()` |

Thread.currentThread().getId() is deprecated since java 19. There is a Thread.currentThread().threadId() instead.

I opened an issue in open-telemetry/semantic-conventions#1375 so we don't miss it as this PR here was closed 4 years ago.
