On Versioning Observabilities (1.0, 2.0, 3.0…10.0?!?)

The article is a critical opinion piece on the use of semantic versioning (e.g., Observability 1.0, 2.0, 3.0) in the tech industry, specifically within the observability domain. The author argues that while such framing is overused and can be confusing, it currently describes a genuine, backwards-incompatible generational shift in observability tools and practices, moving from traditional 'three pillars' models to event-based, OTel-native architectures.
