[OTEP#265](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-specification/blob/main/oteps/0265-event-vision.md) lays out OpenTelemetry's vision for events, which includes a user facing logging API to emit events. I proposed work in this direction, but it didn't get any traction: - https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-java/pull/7905 - https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-java-instrumentation/pull/15572 - https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-java-examples/pull/954 - https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-java/pull/7907 Opening this issue to track and to understand the level of interest.
