>  Description     : exponential backoff algorithm implementation for Go (v5)
>
> This is a Go port of the exponential backoff algorithm from Google's HTTP Client Library for
> Java.
>
> Exponential backoff is an algorithm that uses feedback to multiplicatively decrease the rate
> of some process,
> in order to gradually find an acceptable rate. The retries exponentially increase and stop
> increasing when a certain threshold is met.
>
> This is v5 of the library, which uses a different Go import path
> (github.com/cenkalti/backoff/v5) and can coexist with v4.
> The v4 package is already in Debian as golang-github-cenkalti-backoff-v4-dev.
>
> This package has zero external dependencies.
>
> This package is needed as a dependency of golang-opentelemetry-otel (>= 1.43.0),
> which migrated from backoff/v4 to backoff/v5 in its OTLP exporters.
