Not blocking, maybe we can just remove this sentence? It mentioned metrics in a tracing spec (also it might be inaccurate because LogExporter does exist https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-specification/blob/main/specification/logs/logging-library-sdk.md#logexporter).
