Using latest javaagent is risky #12

Not entirely sure what we might want to do about this, but I just wanted to point out that using the "latest" tagged javaagent is a bit risky, especially if otelify.sh makes it into production. A user would be quite surprised if a simple restart causes a major (semver) update.

A couple of possibilities:

  1. With documentation, make it very clear that this tool should not be used in production environments.
  2. Pin to the latest major version

Of course with 2) there is a bit more work to figure out what the latest version in a major line is, and there is manual maintenance to be done after a major version upgrade.
