+1 for graduation! I’ve integrated OTEL into so many projects that I honestly forgot it was still in the incubating phase. IMO it's as ubiquitous and reliable as k8s for day-to-day operations. Fully support getting this merged!

I miss one thing: a way to show span drops

As far as I know the OTEL client library will drop spans silently and server side has also no metric for span drops.

As one, that already observed a full cluster with normal 50k-150k RPS, that had 0 RPS caused by span drops, I think graduation should have this as a requirement.

Thank you to @TheFoxAtWork and @dims -- this has been an incredibly thorough review of the project for consideration at the Graduation maturity level.

Thank you for this feedback @szuecs -- please also follow-up with the project if you haven't already with your concerns.
