…ween external and otel instrumentations (open-telemetry#4187) Some package managers (PyPi) don't provide means to reserve namespaces for projects. We also have a number of **external** instrumentation libraries in python that follow current guidance and use `opentelemetry-instrumentation-{component}` naming pattern. These libraries are hard to distinguish from otel-authored ones. Also, when someone (legitimately following existing guidance) creates an external instrumentation package like this, it blocks our ability to have OTel-authored instrumentation with this 'good' name. See open-telemetry/opentelemetry-python-contrib#2759 (comment) for real-life example. ## Changes This PR changes the recommendation to: - otel authored instrumentation should use `opentelemetry-instrumentation-*` pattern - external instrumentation should not use this pattern and should prefix lib name with their company/project/etc name * ~~[ ] Related issues #~~ * ~~[ ] Related [OTEP(s)](https://github.com/open-telemetry/oteps) #~~ * ~~[ ] Links to the prototypes (when adding or changing features)~~ * [x] [`CHANGELOG.md`](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-specification/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md) file updated for non-trivial changes * ~~[ ] [`spec-compliance-matrix.md`](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-specification/blob/main/spec-compliance-matrix.md) updated if necessary~~ --------- Co-authored-by: Armin Ruech <[email protected]>
