   this project is a server backend and the project currently named 
OpenTelemetry sends data to Zipkin.
   
   considering there are few projects that call themselves standards they may 
achieve the goal of merging the standards they formerly made into one. That 
will be measured by the former ones (opentracing notably) actually migrating to 
whatever is made here as opposed to tools being revlocked to the former.
   
   Ambitious goals aside, I think folks should tread carefully as all new 
projects drift and mapping and misunderstandings are common when things are run 
at a distance from end users.
   
   We have no plans to drop support for our data format, or drop our server for 
what the project currently named opentelemetry is doing. I do anticipate 
mapping problems, as already we've seen things creating overly chatty and/or 
redundant data. However, there's no reason some of these things could not work 
out.
   
   That said, we have no goal to choose opentelemetry at the expense several 
years of work done by a far more diverse number of parties. In other words, 
don't expect us to choose this project favorite at the expense of others, based 
solely on their ambition or project naming convention. Concretely, we won't be 
deleting our data types for example. Other instrumentation and export to other 
systems via the specifications we have published will continue.
   
   I'm closing this issue as issues as we define them are changes to this 
codebase. This is more a question, which I hope I've answered. If you want to 
chat more, there's https://gitter.im/openzipkin/zipkin
   
   Cheers,
