Should this be a breaking change since it removes statsd support?

[consideRatio]

Woops, hmmm, yes i guess. I have never heard of anyone using statsd but you are right.

I have published it as 4.4.0 now though, do we take an action or just go with it?

I don't know....

Might have been good to mention that statsd metrics support was dropped in the same change. I didn't see a deprecation period for that or anything in the release notes.

Oops, saw this and commented in the commit, didn't notice this was already mentioned in the PR.

IMO at least having a minor version bump for the dropped support is minimum good. It would have been nice for anyone using those options to have a deprecation period before those options are dropped outright (we're not using them but might have, it was something I was going to investigate for monitoring the chp in our k8s cluster).

At least a reasonable follow up would be to amend the changelog to mention the dropped statsd support so people that are using it don't have to dig too far down into git / PR history to find what broke them.
