@ArthurSens could you update the changelog? Thanks! |

Happy to add it! I'm a bit confused about when a changelog entry is needed, though. Is this written down somewhere? #4860 didn't need, for example, and the PRs are quite similar |

#4860 didn't change the actual spec or its status. It just reorganized things. This is making a material change a consumer of the spec might care about, so we should have a changelog entry. |

Oh, sorry for the delay here... I was attending FOSDEM and OTel Unplugged. Do you still want a changelog entry? Happy to add in a follow-up PR |

In this PR, I'm declaring the transformation of Prometheus Counters into OTLP Monotonic Sums stable.
I'm still not declaring Gauges stable, as requested in #4744, because I suspect we want to discuss when a Prometheus Gauge becomes an OTLP Gauge or an OTLP UpDownCounter.
