The [OpenTelemetry Specification](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-specification) can be a rapidly

changes in the specification can result in breaking changes to the implementation. For this reason it is the
policy of the Collector SIG to not implement, or accept implementations of, new or changed specification language
prior to inclusion in a stable release of the specification.
