Wednesday morning at KubeCon EU in Amsterdam. Hall 7. The OpenTelemetry maintainers' meeting had maybe 200 people in a room built for 600. Three halls over, every AI agent was standing room only. In that half-empty room, the OTel project announced stability milestones in a single week than in the previous two years combined. Declarative Configuration: stable. Profiles: alpha. eBPF Instrumentation: headed to RC. Go Metrics SDK: 30x faster. Baggage propagation validated at 60M requests per minute.
