Like this literally should not happen: [How to actually use FDB OpenTelemetry tracing?](https://forums.foundationdb.org/t/how-to-actually-use-fdb-opentelemetry-tracing/4877)

There needs to be a better way than people banging their heads against a wall for hours, come to the forums, and to be told that something wasn’t finished yet but is somehow in the codebase to tempt you to try. There needs to be something like a roadmap perhaps so people can know whether something is planned, coming soon, stalled (help wanted), or shipped.
