~~Declarative configuration is stabilizing imminently: open-telemetry/opentelemetry-specification#4568

Hoping we can publish this within a few days of pushing the merge button! Keeping as a draft for now so we don't accidentally merge early.~~

Declarative configuration is now officially stable!

This blog post acts as an announcement and contextualizes what stability actually means.
